Poetry
YoU
Andrea Selch
Because I spent all night
dancing with you
I said last night's prayers
this afternoon
And then this evening
when you were—who knows—
at your home? and I
was here alone, thinking could this love
be true? I found myself
with folded hands, praying anew:
what should I do? what should I do?
After the one-two one-two
of all night dancing with you,
what else could I do?
Oh you honey dew
come back soon. Who cares
if it's true but while it's new
I'd rather my two hands
were full of you.
