The Chance
Can you see Can you
see Can you
see it’s a two way
street when you say
you love someone:
a truth hopefully,
from inside I:
a decent truth;
making room enough
for two.
Such presence
we could have together.
Outside, the rain, the wind
all around us,
the openness of the bare
November trees
all around us
so much like us:
beginning here/
could be our
beginning here:
the new year
But you deny it
and just speak the words
and just
speak
the words:
the I
failing again:
the one direction
again: away
from the life inside;
the opening up in there,
growing from there.
There is a truth here
but it won’t be noticed
