A RESPONSE

my love:

you and i will start off small-

little tercets now;

maybe a sonnet or two;

a sequence when we are well-versed;

a TV pilot;

a screenplay or five

(we start our own production company - M.A.L. Films

for "Mark Anthony/Allison Leigh").

finally a style guide:

How to Write Together for Lovers

or somethinglikethat

there are so many histories that we will write

and the most beautiful poetry we will make will be

called Camilla and Alex&er

let us write those spots in time

and let them gleam in the world,

but, until then:

my jealousy of that heater

is only matched by my desire

to be the only blanket you'll ever need.
