To the poem I put
into a book
before it was ready
I’m sorry I didn’t wait
a few lines longer
 
To the flowers
I picked before
they were ready
When sunlight
still shone
like a prayer
on their petals
I’m sorry
 
To the man I will
love and love
until the word love
no longer means
anything to anyone
I’m sorry I wasn’t ready.
