I came twice thinking I’ll be irresistible
But you were, absolutely
Tentatively you assert yourself
I am not that
I am not what they say

I know you in your imperfect perfection
Second hand seams along the contours of your body
I see the colors now
Your colors, my colors, the sky, and the trees

I’m mute to tell you look
Amazing
Beauty

I’m cool to say it
Nice
It’s
…

But you know what I mean
hanging on the edge
follow you foolish

Can you think of a vessel
just the right size to slide your hand inside
and feel around for…
I can’t feel my legs

I am jealous of your clothes
rest on your frame
against your skin

I thought to take off my tie
unbutton my shirt
releasing my heat
to burn against you

Open your drawers of secrets
the beautiful things that you love
and hide
I will tuck myself inside
you can find me
