Love Poem: Unknowing

Written by: Ezra Vancil

Unknowing

unknowing she knows me
unraveling slowly
Bandages binding
constricting the wind

cooling the sun fall
red orange and royal
fields that I’ve dreamt
but never within

unknowing she greets me
a bow and curtsy
with king purple robe 
and crown for my head

in lavender oil
washes the toiled
brow and in honor
lays in my bed

unknowing she holds me
closer than earthly
skin drapes the structure
of bones in a man

rending the fable
holding me stable
knowing she loves
the fool that I am
