XXIII
by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI will meet 23 as Me
not with Joel upon my arm
Not with nor any other
malapropian mate to disarm
I shall meet 23 as Me
with no one to sap my breath
and blow out my candles for me
No unenamored inamorato
to waste my wish upon
I shall meet 23 as Me
I will meet 23
as Melina
