A Friend
We shared something
It was you and me and the
death of my denial
To kiss and trace hands
Breathe deep, and close eyes savoring the in-be-tweens
That I am loving and soft has been concealed
and used for fodder
And you, with deep eyes and wide smiles
Were the sole witness
The first to seize and relieve
Not a knight- just a friend
It wasn’t rescue, it was acknowledge
We shared something
It was you and me
and the death of my denial
It is alright now, we have continents between bodies
You have roots and plans and lives
Girls made beautiful in opposites of me
Still-
We share something
