I know
there are
those who are
unrequited
yet persist
those who
did not have
the good fortune
to be chosen as
your detainees
those who
undeterred
did discard
their names
at the mere
mention of yours
those who
spoke only
in your silences
and lived
only in
your presence
those who
beguiled themselves
with sad superlatives
and supplications
naked and sleeping
in your waking dreams
those who
remain fixed
even when
presented with
alternatives
the easy acquisitions
and pastimes
those who
would not abandon
their pursuit
of you
any more
than I would
and I
will not be
denied.
