<p>I'm going to ask Neruda to write<br>
a love sonnet for you on my behalf,<br>
a perfect sonnet made of starry night<br>
and fire, like roses in a blue carafe;<br>
I'm going to request that he include<br>
images of you standing by the sea<br>
with me on the shores of our latitude,<br>
always to be there, and happy to be.<br>
I want him to write a beautiful poem<br>
that celebrates you and my love for you,<br>
to keep in a secret place of your own<br>
as if it were a timeless rendezvous.<br>
But if the master won't do this for me,<br>
I'll do my best with my own poetry.</p>
