one foot naked
image of love, as he sees love
i lose myself in today
wherewhen i don’t fit in his imaging
if i am to be faithful
to love as i know love
let me know respect
for the both of us
i think for me
that means
a right space between
but oh the spluttering
do i use my words?
or let life do the talking?
what is love like
who am i, and
who are we
my word
i forgot all over again
that we already have
what it is we need
that moment it hits
that love is not earned
and i wish he knew
in his bones too
something i haven’t
the words to say
that ground in a one breath
lands me like the soil
between his fingers and
a lofty dust after rain
may i remember
who you are to me
may i gauge us together with
what is a right space between
like two kids in a sandbox
you building castles and moats
and me wondering the grain’s fall
into a back together
once again with gravity
