| Dr. M & I playing a game with J & K - we're just friends I tell you! Friends! |
I wanted to write about
How you waited under that tree
About how you slipped
Surreptitiously into
The fabric of my life.
I wanted to write about
My denial and qualmAbout the way you crept
Covertly into my dreams.
I wanted to write about
Desire and a kitchen accident
About souls stealing
Silently away together.
But it made me blush
So I didn’t.
So I didn’t.

Still just friends?

I love love! I still remember the exact moment I first saw Justin- my precise thought was, "What a wierd little dude".
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful, Dana. That moment of love is so precious, so beautiful and it is always subtle. You capture it beautifully with these marvellously alliterative words,

Surreptitiously into
The fabric of my life."

ReplyDeleteLike the way you write this very positive poem "negatively", saying what you're not going to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, just gorgeous! Love the way the reader is pulled straight into this most intimate of poems and included. Then turned away at the end!
ReplyDeleteI knew for a fact that you were young once. Good photographic evidence.
