She turned the page to press

She turned the page to press
the flower. This depression
weighs heavily, compresses
my shoulders. I repress

the meaning that's expressed
in scripture. She's depressed
beneath the standing cypress
knees.The fires oppress

the trees, this life depresses
me. I search the expressions
rendered under the pressure
of air. She smells of pressed
flowers.
