Because You Have Loved Me

Because You Have Loved Me (a Cento)

Spring,that omits no mention of desire
when the world is puddle-wonderful
the chattering sunset ludicrously
cannot be photographed,measured;disdains
shallowness of sunlight
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
sky lavender and cornerless, the
stirringofbirds between my arms;but
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
your slightest look easily will unclose me
because you have loved me
