Simply

Simply, you must know--
You must simply know--
Simply--Simply--Simply
     you must know.

I will never stop loving you.
As foolish as that may make me.

You are eons and eons in my mind,
and I, an old, crunchy cricket,
     wrinkled as a raison--
at the end of this, will I rest
     your haggard chains.

And now, looking forward,
     I would never blame you
     if you happened to crunch me down

underfoot

I, I, a cricket, a raison,
     wrinkled and browned
     and blinded
     by your rays.
