the following is the but not The
*
am i only
all of it
or none
a happiness
or disappointment
the one and only i
or
just another one
*
so many nights still
and yet
your heart is in darkness
filling in the space
with light things that will never
sink stay drown
in you yet
*
how is it
that i was but a sentence
for you
when in this little book
coverless and unbound
you are there the tarnished
curled too tight
the read again and again
last page
that will leave anyone hanging
craving
wanting more
except
of course
for you
*
it is true that
there will be times
when you are little more
than a sputter and a dud
but even then
on the last flicker
you are warmth
you are light
you can sail someone
back to shore
