don't be surprised if
my heart is at the bottom
of a barrel of
flowers and pointy daggers
— mind the cuts as you reach down

I want you near just as much
as you want me close

I don't wish to be
where you're not — your absence has
embittered life there

is it because I
have yet to taste that I have
yet to
understand

lying beside me
you're the sound of heavy snow—
storm in December
just the reason to stay put
curled up by a fire —
your fire

if I end up
dead
to you,
I hope you'll keep all
the green bones left at
the funeral pyre — show them
to me the next time we meet

enter through the same
door he walked out of — that is
how
you find
my heart
