Crystal-Clear Warnings

... 

don’t you

turn your back

to the old willow trees

weeping down in courtesy

along the lone river banks

at sunset and 
don’t dare to look

over those young shoulders

whenever you need to recount

your insecure steps,

their free falling

or revisit the green high lands

you've been taking for granted so long.

We all learn that snowdrops in spring

whisper more about weddings than

pyramids

or towers

ever will .
