“The beginning is always there.

          It is never over.”

 

 

I thought…                                 (as I too often do)

was under the assumption…          (as poets do)

that we were supposed to be…              (as I act)

platonic—                                                            (…)

 

that I was supposed to be…                           (less)

not what I feel/am…                          (pretending)

but what you need/are…            

                                                        (thinking again)

 

only, tonight, you were…                               (are)

what I thought you were…                            (are)

and expected/hoped I…                                  (am)

am.  I am.  And We are…                             (I Am)

 

Everything

We ever were.      

                                                                       (amen)
