A Small Little Puddle
12/10/89
For Natalie
I see it one way
You see it another
While no one can agree with both
Lovers enjoy the argument
Does my point of view
blind you to your humor?
I usually judge things differently
Who Cares?
Only the confidence of feeling
proves the constant branch
on which the
birds of our hearts
must finally
rest
Only the steel of love can dull a point of reasoning
and leave the knife
flat
like a small
little
puddle
There is no concern over a small well when the whole countryside
is flooded with water on every side.
When the mind ceases in love's feeling paradox,
then the knives of angular reasoning melt into small little puddles
