You asked for a poem,
And I tried, replied, I can only make light.
But the not-quite-moon via porch bulb
Was far stronger than my meager power could muster.
And the convex arc of my arm cradles your cheek
And your breathing makes rhythms like a Ray Charles waltz
And I can only make light
And hope it's enough.
