Poetry Friday: "You and I" by Jonathan Potter

This one is for Atticus because he's the best thing about me.

"You and I" by Jonathan Potter is a short poem, just ten lines, nearly perfect. 


It begins: 

You are a warm front
that moved in from the north,


and then it winds through other marvelous metaphors and ends:


And I am the discoverer of you.


Depart from me now, dear reader, quickly, quickly, and spend a moment with this little gem here.
