Love Poem, by Sheri


Love Poem


The times we spent spinning the night

like a record I almost heard the beat of the moon

and the clanging of stars and the singing of insects

in line with certain truths you can't refute anymore

or sneak up like a man in a trenchcoat

the times we spent saying there really is

no silence or no way to unhear the world

I went on for hours talking about love as

a hardly seen black cat who won't strike out

the bug we got in the heat of a summer night.
