This One Time, While Back

she sits on my shoulders, wrapping, twining
long legs warm round my neck
so tight at times, I cannot
breath

she looks long in my eyes
deep and intent
past the glass as if to discover
everything
to pull it all up, to
study it

is truth a product of vanity, some kind of
futility
as is said
sometimes

I see nothing unless it sees me
and she is so much of my system
right now

I wrench my mind to see you around these words. Tonight I've read nine of your poems. Foolishly, I think I've understood bits of two. Yet, I like you.
