“October” by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz

I opened a book “The Year of No Mistakes” by one of my favorite poets Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz and found this remarkable poem:

October

More beautiful women have loved you,

more talented. Poems about you have

already been written by better hands.

I can’t help but cover up my bare skin.

I flee. I’m still not enough for your love.

My lips are attached to a nervous face.

My No is always quicker than my Yes.

I want to touch you so badly I don’t

know how to even reach out. I’ll never

know how to say it: how sunk I am

in this love for you, how salty,

how sweet.
