And suddenly the thought of composition
Is terrifying. Should I keep it light,
Or would that lightness trigger your derision
As if the topic that I wrote about
Deserved no better? Should I try instead
To prove significance beyond a doubt
By writing heavier than would be read?
Are darker poems better? Lighter? None?
Would even this be read by anyone?
At last I sat and told myself: ignore
These meta questions. Write your thoughts. Go on.
And so I write. I love you more and more
Even though this sonnet space is gone.
