I love the first line: "To believe in God is to love / What none can see." I like how the poem takes that idea to how one can love a person who no longer lives or who has left the relationship. That their absence does not lesson the love felt.
I like that the poem is an elegy - a written testimony to something that is not there. That creative work is the result of love for the unseen.
Favorite line: "Let a lover go, / Let him . . . die / Without a signature"
To believe in God is to love
What none can see.
What none can see.
