  rosemary (remember me)
  
  do you remember how you walked with me
  down the street into the square?
  how the women selling rosemary
  pressed the branches to your chest,
  promised luck and all the rest,
  and put their fingers in your hair?
  
  i had met you just the day before,
  like an accident of fate,
  in the window there behind your door.
  how i wanted to break in
  to that room beneath your skin,
  but all that would have to wait.
  
  in the carmen of the martyrs,
  with the statues in the courtyard
  whose heads and hands were taken,
  in the burden of the sun;
  i had come to meet you
  with a question in my footsteps.
  i was going up the hillside
  and the journey just begun.
  
  my sister says she never dreams at night
  there are days when i know why;
  those possibilities within her sight,
  with no way of coming true.
  some things just don't get through
  into this world , although they try.
  
  in the carmen of the martyrs
  with the statues in the courtyard
  whose heads and hands were taken,
  in the burden of the sun;
  i had come to meet you
  with a question in my footsteps.
  i was going up the hillside
  and the journey just begun.
  
  all i know of you
  is in my memory
  all i ask is you
  remember me.
