In her late father's hands

In her late father's hands
and to her grace
to whom few knew
lucky are they, who
enrapture her taste
the art of her palate
the embellishment of two

In her late father's hands
wistfully passing
high up like clouds
and leaf-mixed skies
chill-filled evenings
bring in love on cue

the statue of her father
herself infinitely yonder
the face of his saint
now tempered...
snapdragons' bloom

perhaps it's the Russian
stubborn and fiery
yet ultimately caring
father to daughter
ripe with auburn
her blood is so red too

In her late father's hands
I'd wish I'd had the honor
to soak in grace a little longer
but wishing so is for losing so
as fate already knows what may ado
