O I Know Poem by Gabrielle Ciarann Roniyah Baer

O I Know



O I know,
WS in this instance does not
stand for Will Shakespeare
but you do
speak him fluently
and no doubt
you are as human as any.

But
your flowing-current voice,
your molded, mobile face,
your laughing, weeping, scowling, grinning
golden-green eyes
make me willing {or nearly so}
to be seen as I am,
to see you.

written in 1976
