"You"

I found “you” in my poem,
the second-person-singular pronoun.
The rhyme I'm thinking of is “home.”

I’ve been through all the “poem” rhymes
already—“lovin’” is a sappy one.
I found “you” in my poem,

but I want to be “they” or “them,”
and "I" hope “we” can still have "our" fun,
now that we have to stay home

and exchange messages on the phone
that don’t quell my apprehensions
one little bit. But I found “you” in my poem,

so I don’t feel all alone,
burning and yearning in my lonely room,
my unmade, empty home.

"You"’re the honey in my honeycomb—
“you,” my poem’s electrical ground.
I found you in my poem.
The rhyme for you is home.
