Susan M. Boogher

SINCE I have loved you

Every man I pass

Goes by me with some hint of you:

Some windy grace

Of your swift movement through the crowd;

Some similarity of up-flung brow

That lifts me with the thrill of mountains;

Some glance of eyes, like yours,

That whisper phraseless things….

Since I have loved you

Every man I pass

Goes by me with some hint of you….

Since I have loved you

Are you all men?

And has love made

All men

You?
