Confession

by Anne Elezabeth Pluto

It is not simple to love in two places,

and I have always been a restless woman

waiting for signs. Then you appeared

walking on my very grave while the stars aligned

themselves in patterns of celestial light.

I have watched the moon eclipse with you

drawing breath into the most dangerous of places:

my heart

Never leave me.

Enjoyed the poem. Good way to close.

"drawing breath into the most dangerous of places:" Sweet line. Strong opening.

Carry it on. Take it on. It wants to go lots more places. I think.
