A Sprig of Kamuning
By Marne Kilates

A sprig of kamuning Grace picks
From our potted garden in the morning
I slip into the small mouth of a Mexican
Jar so I could own it for a moment
On my desk: I glance at it as I type,
The fragrance it brings is probably
The scent of heaven from last night’s dream.
