Saint Susi
she is a Spanish song
lost four years ago
newspaper dress
we thought the news was too much to keep up with back then
a Banana Republic Saint
the nights she would drive us to San Francisco
to buy us sourdough and watch us dance
a $7 rose
she is ocean
and she is English History
her voice,
deeper than all roses
have you ever felt a hug,
like warm waves taking you out?
the sun was pink the morning after
we stood at the end of the park to stare
the last time we saw her eyes
