from Sirens
My transgressions pile against the garden wall
(built when Rome began to weaken, scarred
by a cannonball). I gossiped; I snubbed
a dinner guest. I watch until the wall writhes
with awful feral cats fed by shrunken widows
and the odd librarian. I've begun to be depleted
by your absence; one of love's worst symptoms.
For years, I'd had the sense to hold myself apart.
I've been here long enough to kill
two mint plants and a lavender,
then resurrect their better part.
I'd like to let you die on the vine.
– Eliza Griswold (2013)
