Willow Trees Poem by Lexy Sogl

Sit Beside Me

Hear the raindrops
Penetrate the ears of trees
The willows
Ask the wind
To thrust their branches

to you
Just
To get a taste
Of your name

Jacqueline,
Is what they call you
Soon as you speak
I know
It seems unjust
To fence you into, a name

I hear your voice
It starts in my lips
Travels to my stomach
Trembles my hands

And beats my heart
Maybe it’s the touch,
Maybe it’s the smell,
Maybe,
It’s the name
