Us
Elisabeth Horan
the most beautiful thing ever
is what I call you
most ragged bond, most happenstance meet
doesn’t matter
the world at our feet
even if it drops away
i have the torn paper to show for wear
that it was real
i wasn’t dreaming when i saw my name
in black and white
by you, of you
you who taught me what
hole my heart
fits into
like a parallelogram, only
better, four chambered and truly
nuts for this red candy game
and all these spilled guts
which are morphing
into diamonds -
