Here comes a poem from the unpublished collection of poems named Never touching the stone beach shore (p. 34).

_

I said
no
to the one
who came
to the door
to take exactly
what he
wanted

I said
no
to the one
who rang
the phone
to take exactly
what she
wanted

people
are not
shelves
from which
one takes
necessities

oftentimes
their own
reflection
in
you

for every
no
a being rewards
you

through early mornings
through early winds
through early winces

Never touching the stone beach shore (p. 34).
