saint anselm by Angela Thomasi wrote all these poems for you. words
and feelings and commas and periods
stacked up in neat little lines for everyone
to read. you knocked them over like dominoes
tumbling across the table. and it's years later,
we're sitting in one of my favorite restaurants
and i could honestly care less about the food
because you're looking at me like i'm brand-new,
just discovered, a beauty to behold. and my heart
skips in my chest. i remember all the times you held
me close. all the kisses that took my breath away
and always, always, that first night. the night you
showed me that i could love again. i was in love
again. that all along it was you. 11/18/2014 Posted on 11/19/2014 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
