as beautiful as I knew it could be

When my eyes came in to focus

as I woke up this morning,

the first thing I saw was an unfamiliar shade of lime green,

and I knew immediately that it must be

the pilly acrylic sweater you said you found for me,

slipped in to my closet in just the right spectral place.

Oh you, there are so many languages in which to say

exactly the constancy I didn't know needed hearing.
