i love you
more than a summer’s
day & more than a poem
can even
say
i love you
more than a tiger’s loudest
roar &
more than a brain
can ever
know
i love you
as the sky loves the
stars or
the rainbow loves the
clouds
the way
a kitten tangles with a
strand of yarn or a
dog falls asleep beside the
fire
i love
the glow in my
chest when you’re
near &
how easy it is
to find you in the
dark
what’s
mine or yours, he or
she, doesn’t matter––
the isness of us
is a giggling miracle
with two heads, four
feet & a single romping
soul
when we
eat, one hand feeds the
mouth of the other; when we
have a thought, we
race like children to
say it
first;
one
cries, our eyes
fill with
tears
how these
things are is how
human things should
be––
to love
like a laughing
moon; to
breathe like a
snowy
mountain;
to be so
happy that
dreaming never
ends.
