kaberettI worry that I love you
because you are a mirror
(because I have made of you a mirror)
that reflects me whole-not-broken, shows me who
I can aspire to be and what
I am, elsewise unseen. I worry that
I love you selfishly. & yet - & nonetheless -
(you are the early morning thunderstorm
I drink hope from
that shakes apart my skies and scours me clean)
because you are a mirror
(because I have made of you a mirror)
that reflects me whole-not-broken, shows me who
I can aspire to be and what
I am, elsewise unseen. I worry that
I love you selfishly. & yet - & nonetheless -
(you are the early morning thunderstorm
I drink hope from
that shakes apart my skies and scours me clean)
