I love your heart


Nervous Laughter

Because I don’t know why

Because you are taller than me?

Because your smile is crooked, but your eyes are bright?

Nerves

I will probably hurt your feelings

Because I don’t know what else to say

And I don’t know what you want me to say

And I want to give you something

Because you deserve something

But I don’t know what

Or if I have it

That thing

That

One

Thing

That people give each other

And

you are better at talking..


With words

That fall out smooth

Like

Butterscotch

And

I am
better at writing..

In secret journals

Stored in dark rooms

Like

A potato

  5. You are right! You are totally right! And I didn't even realize it until now...thank you for pointing it out.

  7. thank you dlh
    your words open a crack
    in a door
    and i am reaching through
    with just fingertips
    to see what i can feel
    or to feel what i might see
    if i allowed the crack
    to widen

  8. oh Yes! Do plunge your fingers in...pick and peel and squeeze and never give up.

    Where the light bleeds through...

    that is your birthright.

  9. she said you were gorgeous
    avocado pie
    i played some tennis
    as a kid
    fuzzy flourescent
    yellowy green balls
    round like mangoes and avocados
    but rounder, faster, rolling smaller and away
    thrift store rackets
    $4
    and still good!
    practically free!
    like a home run
    like a sure shot
    like waking from good dream
    like walking a level playing field
    with a song in your heart
    because you left space for
    the little bird
    of true love
