Have Never

Did you say back there,
that you were going to read me?

I saw the way the corner
of your foot,
brushed the leaves,
dry.

Your head weighted,
heavy with knowing,
tangled in the view,
I always knew.

Like some kind of singer
I tasted the world
and reading me was such a chore,
that interest, escaped.

And across this space,
through these naked trees,
your stance
says so many things to me.

Then I realize,
that as I run my eyes over you,
synchronizing our breathing,
finding feelings and seasons
swirling, that I,...
have never stopped,
reading you.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats
