To Write with Love

Find someone to write with love

of Heaven and the stars above

And the formation of every one

of the best ideas you’ve ever had

If ever a hermit cried about

how little his or her voice was crying out;

Well, that person just might sound a little bit like me

If you can find someone you can teach

about the consolidation of body heat,

then that person just might have a lot in common with me

This ability was thoughtlessly invested in me

And I’m beginning to see just how much

isolation isn’t meant for me

Our beloved Emily Dickinson was great

But I’m keeping a notebook to the date

on how many ways she and I are not the same
