Anniversary

It is hard to maintain perspective 

When a person holds your heart for decades

And perhaps there’s no point in trying. 

Entangled love, undying,

Yields a close up view,

Unique for you. 

And stepping back to be more objective 

Is an exercise defying

Common sense,

Especially since

It’s big inside another human being. 

There’s always something more to be seeing. 

For better or worse

It’s like another universe,

Which somehow bends

A gravitational lens 

Into your own,

So that a similar dizzying close up view

Of you

Is shown

To your partner alone.
