In the ocean is a tiny crustacean
Deep under there
No longer sleeping

In the desert is a yellow being
Hunting to meet her needs
Looking for new ground

Sometimes we sleep with one eye open
Sometimes we drift
Toward another continent
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
that song i remember
remembrance of a soft lush feeling
the presence of a misty force
vibrance
without violence
without fear
without loss
it is a dance of life
with you
i am gently aware

i am high on emotion
but i don't miss anything

"it's not the pale moon that excites me
that thrills and delights me
it's just the nearness of you
it isn't your sweet conversation
that brings this sensation
it's just the nearness of you"

so many ways
to tell each other
so many things to say
so many ways
to see it
one truth
that two bodies feel
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
How do I know what is real
When desire clouds my mind
Like the smoke of fireworks
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
There are a few things I can control
My tongue
Is not one of them

I must show every detail
I don't want to have any secrets
No wonder fools get tattoos

I am writing poems on bathroom walls
Because I can't shut the f up
About my idiocy

I am telling strangers
About this man
I have lost all my cynicism

Dreaming away
My worries
You,
Make a small ceramic dish
To hold my keys and my feelings

Whispering to the earth
There is nothing more comfortable
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
I planted bulbs with my grandmother
Simultaneously I buried myself in a shallow bed
And allowed you to water me

Although I slept
You fed me

Although I quiver
You are patient

Shedding my shell into the earth
Growing from my home
Into your admiring vision

My own body
However open in the spring
