today
the poetry is in the faces
the light of day
the street signs
the tall sky
winter is nigh
my heart
a wide open sigh
breathing in new faces
filling in new spaces
the wind is tracing shapes
unfamiliar
to
me
i pretend
i practice
try it all on for size
wonder if i can
rise
to the occasion
as i try
to decipher
what you are to me
friend
lover
acquaintance
mother?
if i gamble
will i win
if i dive in
will i sink or swim
?
for now
i'll just breathe you in
and wander
admire you like a lover
dream
a
dream
of
you and me
beautiful and wise.
