This knot of love you sing <br />Hum the words if they will… <br />will them back they will return <br />from whence they first came to you <br />remember? The heart of the lips <br />the quote of the dimple beside <br />the pear of the smile of the stem <br />of the nose and the droop of the seed <br />of the chin the flash of the quit <br />of the blink of each eye <br />remember? The neck of the child <br />the sleeve of the spine the warmth <br />of the aorta’s line from the spine <br />to the mind as the voice of the phone <br />said Hi! Remember? The thin as a pen <br />fingers that held The time of the timing <br />of each step on the walk <br />remember? The hang to the lift <br />of the breast and the un-hardening <br />of the heart to the hardening of the <br />nipple at suggestions concessions <br />and the untying of knots on requests. <br />(the poem was not even trying) <br />Remember? The sway <br />of the hips to the balk of the heal <br />to the swing together of the toe <br />to the balance of each side <br />of the scale to the soul.<br /><br />Lee B.
