for two verbal people
we quarrel queerly
icing into silence
righteous and angry
until we melt
and warm each other
15

we came together

Let’s say
We loved until death parted us

Let’s say
I love you to the wind,
The magnolia, the windows
Let’s say
I love you, goodbye
I love you

tells me bitterly
by which I understand

despoiled it
cheating
