There is a moment in every day when I kneel before the love i have for you. Then I remember that I am still that man. And i know that my life's work is to be that man, who leans over a white tablet humbled in his constant and signifying love for you. It is eight twenty-seven in the evening. Once again the thought of you has rescued me from the puzzle of my indifference

and the hard wheel 

in the chest's center

becomes a soft wheel

God lies down next to his lamb

so the creature can

gather itself

His queen is massaged

by a thousand versions

of Her most devoted drone.

and there you are

smiling at someone else

in my vision of the lost kitchen

and that is the way

I finish my work

until it starts again.
