One Poem by Taylor Dibbert

 

Living and Loving

 

He's rereading "Dog Songs"

By Mary Oliver

And there are

Some beautiful poems

In this book and

He sees his London

On every page,

And halfway through

The book,

He pauses

And thinks more

About London,

And he starts

To cry and

Everything hurts

And he wishes

That hurting

Wasn’t such a

Big part

Of loving.
