a battlefield where we take
turns stealing glances

on something edible or

for the secrets he tried to keep
— for him it's a truth too heavy, too deep
too wide to exit out his mouth

you cannot
squeeze out
of someone
— they've got to
let you in on

his shape within me — and there
are these spaces he
left wide open — places that
I have not learned to close yet

last night, did today ever
turned to tomorrow

bridges look best when
you're in the water — best crossed
when with a lover
