Sorrow<br />
Siobhan Casey<br />
Sunflower inside a<br />
water-warm glass, only<br />
window pane and my<br />
eyes touching wild-plush<br />
petals, smooth arms<br />
flung into space, yellow heat<br />
melting cold nothings, and<br />
I can’t help but carry its<br />
slippery-glow around with me,<br />
as if its presence changes every<br />
thing, as if it knows what it is to<br />
mourn, face turned upward, a<br />
thousand searching eyes, darkness<br />
at the heart <strong>of</strong> gold.<br />
