Yes - yes! I love this one; I've loved it for years; probably, in fact, since 2006, when I think it was one of my GCSE English poems. I am still so, so grateful to GCSE English for introducing me to so many fabulous poets, and so many fabulous poems.

I don't comment enough, but I love this LJ and I love the poems. Hooray for National Poetry Month!

I am astounded
by the various kisses we're capable of.
Each from different heights
diminished, which is simply the law.

I love this!
