Breathless

My heart was racing kind of
Difficult to find my breath
She said “You just want something-
That you can’t have!” It’s a
Fantasy I know but also
Even once would taste
So sweet

To have something that
Feels right even if it doesn’t
Belong in the rest of the world
Like my outsides don’t match
My insides I would give anything
To make the whole thing line up
That’s the appeal

Again the point of having
A moment like that once
In a lifetime worth the risk
Is it proprioception?
What would it mean to have
Even one chance arrive with you
I’ll take what I can get
Completely as you are

Unfold you and put you
Back together with well wishes
Sweet kisses more than that
When I’m through with you
Dinner too if you’re up for it and…
Then maybe I could get you
To stick around?

Γρουσουζιά

Risk taking is also
Lavender dreams of being
Ivory streams of temptation
Pull the car over to say hello
To a random stranger

Doff the expectation
Of folding towels a certain way
Showing up for life everyday
In certain kinds where
Uncertainty belies

Lavender and gold
Love you with action

Like skipping rocks
Banana peels
Hopping one from the other
Tiptoeing around not to
Turn over any stability
Keep it same keep it solid
Remaining sumptuous
How can we breathe?

In out in out in out
Music in my head goes
In out in out in out
I need a water spout
Connected to my house
Which is my body

Like a rubber band that snaps
It is the complex thread of life

I will forgo all assumptions
That to be alive is any wayward
Thing or moment in any language

I am betrothed to that which
Comes in frequencies and feathers

Here the water pools in casual ways
Here the thunder claps on its own

We show up when we fox what we can
If even then we have to certainly
But not with tension in our hearts
Rocks crumbled in our brains

Here we show up as we want to
Everyday as we can

This is life the combat
We must fight not just to survive
But to be alive to play
