Marigold Hair
Out upon the maple branch in May
Meddled a little mocking jay.
Was merely a miniscule folly,
Mocking me for my melancholy.
For motionless there lied my maiden muse,
Mother's diamond motled in crimson hues.
Three months this Monday we laid her to sleep.
On my sleeve, I saw a marigold hair I did not mean to keep.
