Epilogue of a Romance


EPILOGUE OF A ROMANCE 

Narcissus
    Camellia
        Prunus 

Three flowers of spring
The Chinese said
symbols of new life
new beginnings. 

They ate plums
The deep wine fruit
Oozing upon the lips.
She carried daffodils
dripping with bridal creeper.
He wore a pink camellia
in his lapel. 

When winter struck
Baring the branches of the plum
He was living with a divorcee
in Joondalup.
She had gone home to mother.
