Whenever I Saw You I Handed You a Bouquet, and
what about those nosegays?! If you were to return
I would give you more, for all you have given us, for
your going first. Those posies might have a
peony, a freesia, a tulip – an eye snack
and nostril snack. I could not get enough of
giving you coronation bundles, handing them
and almost bowing, tongue-tied with
respectful adoring, with gobbling
the sight of you the sound, the bouquets saying mother-
– we would not be here, without your song, your eye.
– Sharon Olds (2017), published in Poetry (Chicago)
