Why Do I Love Thee
I love you because
You mourn a basement flat I never knew
Because your hair resembles monastery gold
And because you love old poems
I love you because
You listen to the words of tiny children
Because your belly is a mountain
You let me climb
Whenever it pleases me
I love you because
When naked we are able to defy mirrors
I love you because
You gave me the son I always wanted
And because
I am unable to find the perfect words to fill this page
