To write a poem feels as though a game
Like hide-and-seek: To speak but make no sound.
Winnicott said that it's a joy to be
Hidden, disaster, if you're never found.
Meantime I hide behind the rhyme and feet,
And hope you love me or the game so much,
To step around the words and reach inside,
To say "I see you". With a gentle touch.
