Short Poems by Dawn Pisturino

Love Your Man

Love your man and love him well;

Never seraph spread a pinion
Over fabric half so fair!

Banners yellow, glorious, golden,

(This—all this—was in the olden
Time long ago),
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.

Wanderers in that happy valley,
Through two luminous windows, saw
