Jake's Flea Market

love her eyes from were to are
from everything in the room to you
from blue to the brighter glad to see you blue
to the shining excited to see you blue

and when her head turns away when her face faces
the window when her eyes look out and see
the leaves on the elm sadden
from green to brilliant as tears to dull as mourning to wept
from the elm down to the robinless lawn over worms when they see
the seagull flocks and waterfowl well up from the pond
up into the rain darkened the snow whitened
soul like grief when they gather 

when her eyes gather what was to what is
from you to september dying i implore you
step out through the door and walk
past the window
