There's no reason to leave this poem alone.
Take it and
I swear
It will not swallow you like mirrors
or paint you poorly monochrome
on a rain-bleached handbill.

There's no reason to leave this poem alone.
Take it:
I swear
It means you will find someone
if you can stand omens and monuments
made of paper and not stone.

There's no reason to leave this poem alone.
Take it.
I swear
when you walk past this last line
and have not taken me to heart
that I will have another poem waiting.
