Be brave enough to love a girl
Who is:
Sensitive as ripe fruit
                               and
Resilient like redwood

2. Carry my lipstick remnants in the
valleys
of your collarbone.
Learn the ways to
find the flowers
under my epidermis and make them
bloom.

3. I do not want your love to
come in a
hand
me
down
box.
Show me what’s collected in your
Black hoodie

pockets.
