Please Don'T Say Any Word Poem by RIC BASTASA

what happened during the night was strictly between us
let the stars and the moon be our witnesses
when the morning comes with a break of some news
let that be not about us
please do not say any word for the birds and the flowers
these things are matters of the bees
let not even the ants know or the earthworms
or the snails and the clams of the rivers and seas

please do not say any word, It is enough that both of us
keep the secrets of our past joys and present pains
