What If I Had Come Poem by Keenan Lawler
What If I Had Come
what if
I had come
to the other side
of the barbarous
& name-encanyoned
sea
just to stand
in the radiant
shadow
of your breathing
presence?
what if
i had forgotten what
i was
& or would
just be
in the shimmering
surface
of your fire
breasts
heavy with
the honey
of now
I suckle in silence
like a man
reborn
in the wet
folds of
a dream.
