I found your unfinished poem:
There’s a sun in the sky
and you are near me
and all should be right with the world. But something hasn’t set
(and it had better not be the sun!)
I could pinch a line from Neruda for you: “I want/to do with you what spring does/ with the cherry trees.
There you have it: the apparent ease
of love and poetry.
