Barking Spiders Poetry - CJ Heck Books:

Give me a poet for a lover
whose words stroke me like velvet hands.
Word-tender caresses more reaching
than the caress of a mere mortal man.

Go in through the eyes of a poet
deep into her alphabet mind.
Ideas like flotsam and jetsam
dodge poetry fragments and lines.

Night-night moon
Night-night stars
Night-night noisy
trucks and cars.
...
As a friend, I had come to help
yet one more time
and I watched as she set
the cardboard box on the floor.
