the abundance she brings

♪For my Wife, my Darling Dessaj♪  

my nothing  
consumes all of her  
everything  
i own  
fades away in the abundance  
she brings to me  
the pieces of myself  
from which she delights  
in making sense  
 
of my broken body  
her tenderness  
makes me somebody  
that everybody can appreciate  
when nobody knows  
the trouble i’ve seen  
before anybody saw me  
 
of my broken mind  
her patience  
stitches together  
my wayward thoughts  
stirring thinking people  
with thoughtless paradigms  
to thank me for  
a mind they think  
is radically mine  
 
of my broken spirit  
her belief in the things  
i’ve no longer believed  
has relieved my disbelief  
of the kill and cure  
of what i now believe  
 
my beloved has  
healed my body  
my new body has  
healed my mind  
my shrewd mind has  
lifted my spirit  
and my buoyant sprit has  
kited off on new wings  
for she has consumed  
all of my nothing  
in the abundance  
she brings to me
