Sonnet 17The only person in my poems isn't you.Sonnet 17
It's because I love you
slow and steady, the round swell of each day rolling
into the next making my body move in this new strange way, this new mellow way that has me uncomfortable in this loping gate because my waves normally crash and foam along a pebbly beach instead of this

I hear
your voice
down the hall, through the window, above
all those trees, a light
it seems
& you are singing. What song
is that The words
are beautiful.
