"When it's gone, you'll know what a gift love was."
Ian McEwan, Enduring Love.
Prose or poetry.
It’s the Thought
I can't
exactly place
when...
I wrapped up, my Love
I wrapped it
like a Birthday game
played at European parties
in Polish called
Podaj Pudło
literally pass the box
but it's not a box
and it's more like
Pass the Parcel
and every player
giddy at their turn
peels a layer, off
of glossy wrapping paper
shaped in childish clump
and as one might expect
oddly enough
inside,
there's nothing
and all
