Poem Poem (for Becca)
These words?
These words are about
themselves
Like if this keyboard
could look in a mirror?
Maybe it would adjust
A letter or two
Maybe tuck a line
Back behind another
Because even a poem
Has feelings
Even a poem
Wants to be seen
Even a poem
Wants to be loved
And so it might rhyme
This one time
Or it might l e a p:
to the edge of the page
Or maybe it will just
Wait
For the very right
Person
To see it
And love it
Exactly
As
It is.
