if she,
that is you,
dear reader,
seeks
me,
whether to toe
the tightrope
where the sea roars
beyond land's teeth,
or to tempt
the fangs of forever
and bite into something
real,
then make a mistake
and call
upon your courage,
because I stand here,
still
in love,
still in love with you.
don't forget to call Patricia
on Sunday.
