    I give you an onion.
    It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
    It promises light
    like the careful undressing of love.
    Here
    It will blind you with tears
    like a lover.
    It will make your reflection
    a wobbling photo of grief.
    I am trying to be truthful.
    Not a cute card or a kissogram.
    I give you an onion.
    Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
    possessive and faithful
    as we are,
    for as long as we are.
    Take it.
    Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
    if you like.
    Lethal.
    Its scent will cling to your fingers,
    cling to your knife.

    like the careful undressing of love.           her symbol for love.
                                                   The image of the

          Peeling an onion like
