Nothing To Do With The Water
by Ken HarnischI would hold her
At both our perils
I know
Not going to happen;
We’re two too smart people
Wise enough to keep
Hyperbole chained inside
And feelings aloft
In words
We wrap in meter
And sell as fresh-baked bread
Doesn’t mean I don’t dream
And that she doesn’t know it
Doesn’t mean she doesn’t wonder
And likes being here with me
It’s enough to keep
Us coming back
To the well
To sate a thirst
Whose sweetness
Has nothing to do
With the water. 02/28/2009 Posted on 02/28/2009
