A Simple Sort of Poem

A Simple Sort of Poem

When I kiss you 

I kiss my suffering

When I say your names softly I am saying mine 

When I weep with you

I am also drunk off love

When I touch you

I touch that which I have dedicated the whole of my life

You are goodness’s daughter

You are the truth that calls to me

This book is not written for me 

not really for you

but more for you than me

but for neither of us really

And now,

I don’t even remember the book of which we were speaking
