when I remember you / all possibilities nudge warm enough / they wink / nodding toward the water imagine I’m a sleeping seed you’re my dream no matter how ridiculous the crack I wake in I start unfolding out and sinking in you’ve seen larvae dance without noticeable tune and bees slam into glass then hive off headlong in the right direction that’s me when I remember you here that’s me when I remember not now something deep inside me waves flags tiptoe tries to get you to see all because I’m sure as bright green you’re eager too not worried / not sad not wanting anything but a moment abandoning every now for next this moment / depending on nothing certainly / certainty

I think this is a magnificent poem! I really like it so much, both for the sentiment and the expression. I really love : ‘Imagine I’m a sleeping seed…’ and the line beginning ‘and the bees slam into the glass then hive off …
This is my gut response after being touched after a first reading.

IThis is setting a new bar for love poetry.. The first four stanzas are just brilliant, , If I had to chose one line, I would chose larvae dancing without noticeable tune.
