reconciling ill-matched threads: Reasons why I haven't been writing poetry

Thursday, May 22, 2008

I've stopped going to poetry group meetings

I'm writing a thesis on poetry and am poetried out

I'm happy

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads

of her life, and weaves them gratefully

into a single cloth-

it's she who drives the loudmouths from the hall

and clears it for a different celebration

where the one guest is you.

In the softness of the evening

it's you she receives.

You are the partner of her loneliness,

the unspeaking center of her monologues.

With each disclosure you encompass more

and she stretches beyond what limits her,

to hold you.
