I have several poems you've never seen

I have several poems you've never seen,
several prayers recited that I have not
resounded in the air. I have several
maps for narratives, collected verses,

scattered rhymes and epics. O the characters
that populate the novels, philosophical
treatises and tracts! The woven lines
resemble veils, reveal the mysteries

of other lovers. I have several ideals
that I have realized, several artists
hang in the dull night sky. She is above

the earth like heaven is, above us now
because we are so low. I am the dirt
that turns to dust as breezes move in.
