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!
