the gift

it's hard
to buy a gift for a woman
you adore.
earrings,
a ring, a bracelet.
something that resembles
what you've seen her wear,
but then why another
if she already has that?
a dress or a pair
of shoes
would be impossible.
a blender or a vacuum,
something sexy
from the lingerie store?
perhaps a cook book,
no,
that mistake has been
done before.
