Listen, I never dreamed I would learn to love you so. You are as flawed as my vision As short tempered as my breath. Every time you say you love me I look for shelter. But these matters are small. Lying entranced by your troubled life within as without your arms I am once again Scholarly. Studying a way that is not mine. Proof of evolution's variegation. You would choose not to come back again, you say. Except perhaps as rock or tree. But listen, love. Though human, that is what you are already to this student, absorbed. Human tree and rock already, to me. |
