I quote T.S. Eliot
Saying that true poetry
Can communicate
Before it is understood

She says
It doesn't have to be understood
True poetry
Is a kind of shared privacy

Perhaps. Probably so.
But I still reach out, dear reader.
She once thanked me for reaching out
But then said I romanticized First Love.

Capital letters can be Platonic
The Form of First Love
Exoplanets spin above
My hands, her gloves
