Ok, It’s true. I love you.
I’ve loved you before time began
when clocks ran backwards
and the sun was just an infant
rocking in the cosmos.
But no one was watching.
Have I always known it?
Yes, of course.
Some pocket of knowing must have been in a fold of my body
this whole time.
But I was too fat to see it.
I only just realized it this evening.
Watching the sun sink all the way down the sky
To meet the horizon for a much belated
reunion.
And here I am before you know
–knowing.
Fully, with all of my being–
to wish you a good night.
