To You, Three Years from Now

I am

namesakedly optimistic of you.

My successes and trials have been

in your name—I’m running so

you can fly.

We are

still triumphantly single, yes?

Married to our art,

lover of all, tethered to none?

Do we have a house yet?

No matter. Just please know

I’m thinking of you

and for you

I’m doing my best.
