Midsummer now and I can say with certainty,
it's the nettles I'll miss most, my winter birthday
(yes, swelling apples weighing down a tree)
and little-winged enigma-varieties,
pestiferous or not, god-heading me.

But of you? That's odd too, when you know
only the left-handed wish can come true.
I am forgetting what I ever knew -
it might be the kindest thing to do -
and I've heard it said some loves do so.
