PRECIOUS
The West Desk Window 9:00pm
This Evening My Daughter drove off
with Her Boyfriend Tyler
against a backdrop of sunset
gold & amethyst
like My Mother’s antique ring
worn by Eliza for the first time
— She asked if She could wear It —
said She would keep It
in a blue velvet box at night
& that They’d be back from Halifax
on Sunday
