Poem For Tessa

 my many-worded girl
 you have been the subject
 of more poetry
 than has been written down.

 since when you move, my breath
 catchs and there's a poem, again.
 I've got problems when I say
 write a poem for you
 because where would I start?
 there's a poetry
 in movement
 that poetry can't catch.

 making it quite impossible
 to write a poem
 about why I love you.
