Seven Thirty One

(after emery allen)

there were sunflowers along the highway for miles
belly full of seeds right where you could touch them
faces to the sun
it's the only way they can live.
i was so jealous.
how how bravely they bear their insides
i'm trying to do the same.
i'm trying to be somewhere safe for you
my lover, the youngest son of a thunderstorm
and i, the most forgiving doorway
i would absolve you if i could.
i would fashion this rib house into a cathedral if i had the authority.
shelter is the best i can do.
i can file down my edges
strip my thorns
be the roof / the fence / the afterthought
if you want me to
my heaving beams saying i do
i love you
i love you
i love you
