When you come to greet me, shyly,
wearing nothing but your love for me
I will come to meet you halfway
like a falcon returning to your wrist.
And when you raise your arm,
trembling ever so slightly,
I will alight and let you pull
the velvet shroud over my eyes.
Daniel Goodwin is a poet and the author of several novels, including The Art of Being Lewis and, most recently, The Great Goldbergs.
