I only wanted to give it to you
the way the world
gave it to me
wanted to tell you what I saw
with the words my eyes used
not these
I wanted a person I could
get near without hurting
the nearer I got
wanted everyone to know it
and for it to still be
my secret thought
I only wanted nothing
to be less than
what it was!
and for this to be
—why couldn’t it be?—
not wanting too much
