Wrong

For the love of my life, Lauren.

Wrong

 

My life without you, my love,

My darling, my dear,

Would fall and shrink and shrivel.

It would blister and break,

Twist and undulate,

Boil and dissolve,

Until I was turned to but a drop of the foulest alcohol.

 

I would fit into the cap of a jug,

A top freshly popped off a bottle of back-woods moonshine,

A product of meaningless time and

Cheap, perverted wine.

 

I could be thrown out into the stale heat

Of a summer in the deep South,

Evaporating into invisible haze,

Being inhaled by leaves,

Upon which these earthly eaves

Would cough and spasm,

My poisonous body and spirit

Rejected by the biology of even the trees.

 

No one would have me but you.

I wouldn’t have me without you,

And as the sun runs its rays through your hair,

I see you in high-definition, a form never so fair.

 

No lens, no camera, no television screen

Could ever encapsulate all that I see,

Could ever show with more clarity

The love that welds you to me.

 

No speaker of a thousand watts

Could ever shout my love louder,

Could ever sing with more sweetness

Than the inaudible touch of my palm

To the smooth ivory keys

Of your heart’s breast.

 

Fingertips to strings,

Vibration to song,

 

My life without you, my love,

My darling, my dear,

Would be wrong.
