I. Between the Fox Ferns A bouquet of pink Tulips rests on the grass, set Between the fox ferns. He thinks, "She would’ve loved them," And says one more quiet pray’r. II. Bear He’s like a wild bear. He watches Megan across The table, and she Knows the look in his eye. She Will run. But his claw comes fast. III. One He is the only Person in the universe. The sky spans the earth, Trekking high above the sea, For their one devoted kiss.
