Stuttered
Can
 Cannot
 Windows 
 In lovely frames---
 Would-not,
 Could-not
 Ever fall in love again.
 
 [S-t-t-tutter] 
 Started 
 Therapy 
 On all fours
 Like a 
 d-dumb dog
 (Christmas Eve)
 In gray colors. 
 
 Made me sign
 Lovely
 Lively
 Yellow
 Papers---
 Can cannot
 Could not would not
 Ever
 Ever
 E v e r
 Fall in love again.
 
 You happened
 And the frost happened
 And the creaky wood
 In the place where people get married---
 And the screaming
 And the yelling
 And the oh-so
 Graceful
 Spinning 
 [Me]
 Right into our first 
 K-
 K-
 Kiss…
 
 It's worth it.
 It leaves me breathless,
 Up here.
