I too make poems
with my eyes
reaching for
a calmer place
out of love.
At Jacques Imo's
in New Orleans
Naomi and I laughed,
and in a hotel
restaurant at a
teachers' convention,
Naomi introduced me
to her editor
and we laughed,
and over shared
creamed spinach --
the best she said
she'd ever eaten --
in Murfreesboro,
we laughed.
I have seen her
and she has seen me.
