About You

communication, community, conversation, liminal, love, poetry, reader response, social construction, sonnets

I have created you here
or rather an image of you
I interact without you here
I write these poems to you
or to the one of you who hears
all that is here for you to hear
as well as for you who do not
problematic for me and for you
due to the singular ambiguity of you
your response or lack begs a question
who are you and for whom do I write
you are the confidant of confessions
you are the echo in the waking dark
you are the secret lover to my desires
(November 2012)
