Untitled (I'd like to begin a poem)

Untitled

I'd like to begin a poem
without the word "She", and
I'd like to end a dream
without ever seeing "Her".
And where do you get the nerve, lady?
Barging your way into
my Dreams,
my Poetry; uninvited and
tresspassing.
Doesn't your husband know you're
gone, out;
late at night, midnight in my dreams,
and three-am upon your pillow?
Doesn't your husband miss you,
when your name is dull upon his lips,
and I begin another poem
with, "She"?
