Envious, covetous, desirous
I am for that boy
With his villa and orchard
Apricots apricating, all precociously
Reaching learning maturing
While I humble
I don't seek his house
His life of beauty
Or the size of their estate
I want to cartograph
The chambers of my heart
As he has
To know if my square footage can compare,
If my chamber doors swing open,
rust themselves closed
If rooms are collapsing,
any hope to rebuild
If I can yearn like Elio,
Still.
