PATTERNS

"We construct our worlds
out of memories."

 
What memories live on
in the names of old silver patterns

Woodlily
Greenbrier
Damask Rose

Oh, green summers that fled away

Old Mirror
Rose Point
Grande Baroque

Summers in Richmond under the stars

Melrose
Woodwind
Joan of Arc

Where have they gone,
the girls who chose them?

Their voices come back,
Silver and lonely in the dusk.
