In a golden glow,
while you slept,
I strung together
a few haiku
for you
and sang them
to a sad tune,
the only one I knew.
Your words are like clay
before the kiln,
I try to mold them
into thousands of different shapes,
and it's never right.
But I don't
like to complain
and I'd have to say,
I think I handle pain
pretty well,
wouldn't you agree?
Your explanations
need explanations now.
You speak to me
in worlds,
I only know the smallest words.
Your mouth races my heart,
I always give you a head start.
I will chase you all the way home.

You speak to me

I only know the smallest words.
Your mouth races my heart,
