Mayflower, Mango, and Palm

by Kevin Broccoli

I Saturn-danced away
On the promise
Of mayflower
Mango and palm

Two handfuls
Never make it
Back home

The lost aroma incinerated
By a costly candle
Left undisturbed

Crush up the violet petals
Before they fall
And let them spritz
The robbed remembrance

You are inside
And on my hair
And through my sight
Texturing my flashbacks
In gossamer
In soft cuts

There is a particle
That connects
To every time
You found a match

And it brings me mayflower
And it brings me mango
And it leaves the palm
For when I need
Reminding
