we’ll tarry
an orchard,
comparin’
an apple
to a pear;
are fallen
petals as
fair, midair,
ask a bard,
her minstrel,
his jongleur,
who partner
& regard
an instep
& leap as
they are —
shall I care —
they are knot,
troubadour,
do I dare,
uncertain
while we card,
by inch o’er
the yard
our yarn,
careless
of alarm,
or whether
one time,
what time,
who to warn
Loved it. Your Medieval references were not lost on me. I had a vivid image from a Book of Hours. >KB
