I put you in the poem
I needed the poem
to hold you
Because
I couldn’t
So this therapist said
every week
she sends angels out ahead
to watch over her clients
While
that might seem silly
to some
This poem has a heartbeat
a steady breath
This poem has a loyal body
like a dog
This poem has long arms
that reach around
everything
I trust the poem
to make room for you
I put you in the poem
I needed the poem
to hold you
Because
I couldn’t
This poem has a heartbeat
a steady breath
This poem has a loyal body
like my dog
I trust the poem
