I know some Latin
but did not learn this one  phrase
that I wish I'd known:

but like the newest of moons,
I know you are there

when an unexcpected ring

become nightmares of failure
when I fall asleep
at seven thirty p.m.
beside a six-year-old boy

in the backyards of lovers
who should not be together.
