I Love a Woman

I love a woman lyrical like the wind
through the buffalo grass
and complicated like the seasons.

(We see no reason for reason
and perfection is a lie--
we'll have none of it.
Is the sunset perfect? Is the sky?)

I started singing again just to sing to her.
I love her because she does not ask why.

Miracles are immutable,
so I live now in hope, in certainty.
I am the earth beneath the snow
that waits for spring, that knows.
