An Un-Poem
I'm trying to write a poem now,
so if you'd be so kind...
help me with a word or two,
show me empathy squared
be my paragon of virtue
don't tell me to swim against the tide
as if I could turn back
these waves
don't hand me a syllabus
while my body weeps for your touch
don't show me how pi is resolved into
infinity, show me where the cracks bleed
and where the light runs off, carry me softly to
the sequence of thought and let me rest
inside the long division between man and woman
write to me an endless love poem that will always equal
the harmonic convergence of shooting stars, write of music that
raises the ruins of our lives to its almighty splendor, kiss me
my Darling and let no resistance pass between us, memorize
these words and sing them back to me.
