Best Beloved
By Ivy Page
I sang of times I’ve never lived in,
you wrote words like a snake
leaves a trail in tender grass.
Backlit by the cabaret
of hushed conversation,
I may have dreamed you.
I saw little pieces of each of us
break off to take root
in the loam that we made.
Our dance began.
The images of this are beautiful.
Yes, very lovely.
