while I was locked
and gagged
inside me
I took the time to
do some crucial things
enabling me to
face you
shakily
I went back
to the beginning
ate each and every thing
I thought was a no
and inked over
so hard I
ripped
the paper
with yes
I edited
our timedlines
inside my mind
struck thru rejections
Sharpie marked in insecure
pushpull bulls puncturing
red cloaked fear
with horns
I engineered
utmost empathy
by stumbling through
scenes I thought I knew
in your dusty kicks
forlorn and weary
in a bath robe
and I prayed
with heart splayed
between wide legs
whispering my truth:
your name
