lay your
frayed fingers
on my own and
watch as i
curl mine around yours
i like the way
the wounds, once plastered
are now painting my skin
raw, dripping
sticky
come closer
softly explain
how much you missed me
how long it feels
since you kissed me
bring your trembling wrists
and watch me kiss
every splinter
lay your
sweating face
against my own and
watch as i
barely hold my own
throw open the windows
sing because
we have open windows
we have home
speak your
weary worries into existence
and watch as i
evict every other
thought from my mind
there is space for you
so much, in fact
that when it is not filled
i paste posters of you
on every inch of every wall
come
limping
wincing
on the brink of
unkind thinking
i have felt it too
i have felt myself
shrink
i will not let you
shrink
my love
i will not let you
sink
bring your
drooping eyes
and watch me
kiss them better
i will make you better.
