Affected by her beauty, there's no escape
Warned

You were warned
about that smile--
how easily you forget--
and what I've learned
of distance and restraint
runs heedless over mountains,
outpaces me by far,
leaves me gasping and awry
among the delicate profusion,
the singing, pristine blossoms
of your hair.
