Mouse Romance

Quick hearts beat fast,

a face framed with saucers,

you are the author

of all that’s past.

Future tales will last;

speak to me like Chaucer,

words permanent, embosser

make me your company, your cast.

Squeak to me,

my patient heart longs;

become my bee,

create sweet honeyed tongues

Sirens call me

with ultrasonic love songs.
