ODE TO ZIKA

oh!
clasped away at beauty's bloom



on
that month of March, will we forget?



weep
for the pearl of Damian's broken branch



and
why shall thy brother's heart not bleed



 



late!
we know that wails are vain



yet,
on thy tomb hibiscus now boom



my
eyes weary of wetness nay worry



and
the voice of my morning mute



 



ah!
Zika, only memories leave me whole



thy
grin still gives me hope



there
though twilight shroud thy heart



even
in dreams that day's fate still hurt
