~Magnolia~


I smelled a magnolia for the first time today
on a overhanging tree
of green and brown leaves
hang like fallen stars
with their creamy heads down in shame

I always pass by
but I
never thought to actually reach up
and smell it
to lay my nose
in its blushing cream bulb
rose veins sent out
to fade and hang
like stars
and forgotten dreams

you said 
I had palm tree eyes
I almost saw you
but the sun got in the way
