for marianne

did we maybe just look real close at things
together?
i mean, 
one day i’d like to just
skitter quick and under everything and
feel good (good!)

press all that you ever had against me
and I will maybe 
even press back.

twice i clung to the curve of the earth trying
real real hard to watch the sun and never let it
get away and

the first time, 
i fell hard.

but then, just then watching
all the leaves turn quick against themselves 
i slid like water and you followed and
we held light close,
didn’t let go!
