I do appreciate the situation
That you have afforded me,
My dear Emily.

I will be your noble poet laureate.
I will paint your lineage up on the walls
With words of both the austere purple,
And the convivial spirit of a
Proper Sophisticate.

Maybe after we're both dead,
And you in the mausoleum,
One of your descendants will
Linger longer over my last eulogistic commission -
As with your death, so too my contract goes.

Memorial descriptions burst
Out from the ink brighter than prudent.
Too detailed an eye for the rust tone of your hair.
The bobbed shell it makes framing flaming
Wit and vigor.

And pausing, see
That though you could go through
Six cooks in three weeks,
You would always have had me.
