Love Poem: Sequence

Written by: Jane Wainwright

Sequence

You always placed one before two

And dwelled in that logic

Over battlefields of dying dreams

Forgoing the charge of atmosphere

To make ion and scion attach in seams

Of your weaving, scheming plunder.

I now place two before one

And use my two eyes to discern your graft

To steer clear of your attraction

That would sequence to three

And thus count "out" and prelude the fall

Of my battle-torn, tender heart of wonder.
