I bought
pink and dark pink
fat tulips
for you
their rubbery stems and leaves
evolved to survive
coldest spring
intrigue me
and I love
something pretty
and to surprise you
they're for you
but when you leave
to go to work
I will stare at them
and lace my fingers
in the leaves
wanting to hear
that hollowy sound
then slowly draw
the fattest
and pinkest one
across my cheek
wipe the drops up
from the table
you'll never know
of my affair.
