Spain moss,
she clings to him, genteel,
her subtle, trailing tendrils,
too green to filigree
too rooted to touch
her native soiled.
Aesthetic,
lost in Tennessee
her discreet decay
ferments his streetcar dreams
dependent, as always,
on the fragrant aphrodisiac
of this strangeness,
this unkind desire.
