Today I saw you as you.
I saw everything about you.
I studied you.
I attempted to understand you.
I shift my eyes away from yours
diverting them to your ears
the ears that listened to my incessant cries
and heard my foolish fears
I move down to your mouth
which spoke to me only kind words
and also incompetently mimic the chirping
Of Abyssinian lovebirds
I scan over your honey-olive arm
and the smoothness of your skin
which, for warmth, among other things
I seek refuge in
I hung my head earthward
giving attention to your feet
the ones that brought you far and wide
just to let us meet
You call my name.
I glance back up and look you in the eye
those eyes were now blank and cold
I could not see you anymore, but I still try.
