Found

But I found she said talking carefully
as though explaining something
almost beyond understanding
I found I could not live without love.

And this was the full explanation, all
I was going to get. I found I could not live --
and the question was: what were we doing,
but living? And yet

You see it is complicated
almost beyond finding, and if I care
fully say I cannot live
without love, the repetition makes

it more of an explanation and less
because I too, we all, none of us can
live without love. What are you saying?
I found I could not live without love,

it is a sentence that wanders
through hallways, looking for doors.
I found I could not live without love:
I found I could not live without love.
