'Eleven Minutes from Home', by M. Clark
there is a reason
i have you drive
how am i supposed to see
through laughter; squinted eyes
*
there is a reason
you play the tunes
i have yet to find a song
that sounds like us two
*
and there is a reason
i write my poems in halves
it is because i need you
to make things complete
the way you always have
