Avant You

avant i want
& if you
i am becoming

my love's dying
body okra tomatoes
sweet corn sunflower

to my sin, love
our neighbor says
"you look just

like your lover's heart"
beans field peas
new potatoes today's

purchase or to
gain purchase terror
of bare relation

just now being
here it of
course slips away, into

that sunset,

but i still want you.

I am not worthy, but I am honored that you would write something like this just for me. Thank you for dedicating such a sweet poem to me (and is it just coincidence that it contains food in it?)
