I’m still your girl

It’s insane

how a body can
contain so much
hurt &
not burst
or drip
or drown

Nina May 24

If you come

I’ll open the door before you knock
barefoot
heart lit
shaking
I’ll kiss your mouth before you speak
not to quiet you
but to show you
what language was always
reaching for

I’m wearing your pants tonight
for the first time
in a long time
& I kissed them
and kissed them
and kissed them
as if they were you

Drops

Woke up at
5:50
opened the window and it
started raining
like the sky saw me
started crying
and went:
girl,
we're gonna grow you
some flowers

Raven

I wish you would call
even just to
say
nothing at all

I’d rather

Mary Oliver,
what do I do
now
that I’ve let the soft animal
of my body love
what it loves?

I’d rather walk on my knees
for a hundred miles
through the desert
