Paper Hearts

Once, I gave you a hundred paper hearts
and asked my love to color them in,
because love did not need to tell apart
the paper cranes they should have been.

I should have wished to bring you home
aboard a thousand flightless cranes,
instead my love wrote a hundred poems
and sent them with you on paper planes.
