Written Poetry

Palaces P.

Have you ever
written poetry about me?, you want to ask.
But I make letters for grocery lists
out of the outline of your body.
To write emails I ponder your hands, and reviews your rear neck;
I read my study notes aloud, lips heavy
guiding mine.

But when I do write new poetry, you don’t see my meaning.
So, still, I write to no one—
only the molecules that make you.
