I Thought I Could Love You

May 11, 2023

I thought I could love you in the same way
I write my poems flowing lovingly
allowing them to give natural birth
to themselves.
Without forceps squeezing
them into shape.
But I was wrong
for you loved me as merely an attachment
to be used
then put in its box.
