#027 Nikki Giovanni, 1997

I Wrote a Good Omelet

I wrote a good omelet...and ate a hot poem...

after loving you


Buttoned my car...and drove my coat home...in the

rain...

after loving you


I goed on red...and stopped on green...floating

somewhere in between...

being here and being there...

after loving you


I rolled my bed...turned down my hair...slightly

confused but...I don't care...

Laid out my teeth...and gargled my gown...then I stood

...and laid me down...

to sleep...

after loving you


written by Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems, 1997
