Maskless
Last night-
When you lifted off your mask
I remembered.
Why the hundred poems
I wrote for you
Won't finish.
Why I don't hold
Your eyes with mine
When you ask.
Every poem
Wants all of you.
Every word
Demands you
Maskless.
So much light
Kept back from
Such a dark world.
So much light
Lifted me up
All day.
Last night
When you lifted off your mask
I remembered.
But it's almost
Tomorrow night
And it's already
One Hundred and One.
