Sometimes

Inspired by Sheenagh Pugh’s Sometimes

Sometimes a name is not

yelled, it’s cooed. On some lips

it’s cradled.

Sometimes you are like hymn when she calls

A person sometimes is closer to a god;

she is truth, a guardian, guidance, bright as

the moon in the night sky.

Some people are more than divine.

Sometimes our mistakes are

not unforgivable, not to those who matter.

She will sometimes shock

you with the fact she loves you: she is

blasphemous, and more kind than anyone before.
