perpendicular we lay
vinyl hymns distracting me
and you in this falling light
noon suits you so easily
this sunlight whose love rivals my own
taunting me by touching you
effortlessly being accepted
enveloping you
like i want to, i want to
they frolic on your hair
the hair i messily dyed green
now covered up brown
and golden from all their dancing
noon suits you so easily
i watch you like this
unaware of all the great stories
they are writing about you
and all the poems i cannot
but i want to, i want to
please don’t keep me like this
a scribbling automaton
let me back into the concave
shapes of your body
i have felt unfettered
for far too long, too easily
