But This Is Not A Poem About Love by Olaitan Humble
Since forever ago, I
found perfection sitting
cozily on your palms. Lines
run their course
throughout the annals of
our ages with varying
intersections & overlays. As
a songbird eschews the
tumults of the mute, you watch
with such vivacity. . . & from a
bivy far away, I find myself
scattered in between the
letters of your name.
