To Be Recited to Flossie on Her Birthday by William Carlos Williams
Let him who may
among the continuing lines
seek out
the tortured constancy
affirms
where I persist
let me say
across cross purposes
that the flower bloomed
struggling to assert itself
simply under
the conflicting lights
you will believe me
a rose
to the end of time
