This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘You are Perfect for Me’ by Rebecca Wolff. Born in 1967 and raised in New York City; Wolff earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop in 1993, and in 1997 founded the literary journal Fence.

I have matched mobile art work entitled ‘Charlie’ by @sunflowerof21_365 – Elaine Taylor – with this poem. You can view and follow her on Instagram here.

You are Perfect for Me ©Rebecca Wolff

no one else could understand me
the way you

Drink Me
I say it to you silently
but it calls forth in me
the water for you
the water you asked for
