You have told me:
Your heart is a bird.
On my question
What kind?
You’ve answered:
A mourning dove.
I was about to ask
What do you mean?
But I stopped
myself
thinking:

He knows me pretty well.

But there is a secret
to make your heart swell:

All universes and planets
are not vast enough
to hold the love
and sorrow
of a mourning dove.
