COMMITTED
a two-haiku poem
when the tide rolls in
bows of boats bump each other
tethered to the dock
with our ups and downs
we remain tied together
solid as a rock

Years later I recorded this and two other love poems for Sali (This Quiet Love and In Our Loving Eyes) for a 2019 Valentine’s Day program on KHOE, MIU’s campus radio station. Click here to read and listen to them.
