Elegy for Anne

€ 7,35

ENDUED
When you pulled up
in that brand-new
Volkswagen with the sun
roof, my heartbeat
abrupted, as the girl with the
clementine curls, a smile
festooned with freckles and a
glance that rhymed with romance
stepped into the autumnal light
in her lemon-yellow dress
and I was smitten breathless,
bitten by love’s bite,
and needed no proof
for my endued delight or
my sublime obsession.
