little did we/i know

maybe because the secret poet in me thrilled to the poet in you; no matter my news
knew that you too knew the blurred edges of melancholy; no matter too much:
licked it gingerly like a puppy would (wounded); at the edge of somewhere and far far away.

knew that in the unsaid: the iceberg, bonfire upon bonfire stoked against night
perhaps, i (thought i) knew that about you; did know that about you: and thus,
it is so; as always there is comfort in kindred: of course those birds knew what they were on about.
