ants march along my forearm lost in curly hair
grass scratches my back, between shirt and pants
sweat rolls into my ear, all sound in a jar
and the sun is beckoning me, sneeze
...
Thank you for not taking the bus
Thank you for taking the route you did
Thank you for walking beside me
Thank you for listening to my words
...
My eyes are still closed but I see you
Mechanical buzzing breaks my dream
I roll and let my feet touch the ground
Clearing cobwebs of you from my head
...
The clouds hid the light as I walked
Small glimpses of the sun were rare
The scent of rain hung in the trees
As the light posts passed me by
...
I am your playground
Dissolve on my tongue
Suck, lick and swallow
...
Staring at you
Not glance
Not look
Observe intently, stare
...
There are no words
To express
How much I love you.
Although…I do know where such words hide
