About

I eat, I sleep, I laugh, I grow. I wait, I dream, I hope. I smile with teeth. I commute, I walk with determination-- sometimes with defeat. I'm shy, boisterous, cunning, deliberate. I write, I enjoy, I sing, I clap. I shake, I cry, I confuse my own self. I love, I share, I absorb it all.

you

I tie myself to you.

Your wounds,

your dreams,

your words

pour like batter

onto me.

The shape is lost,

we left it at the park.

We’re inadequate.

We’re impossible,

they whisper.

We’re optimistic.

I like the picture we paint.

You draw with your eyes.

They touch my lips

when we say goodbye.
