Gravity

I don’t read a lot,

But

I know enough

To

Read

You.

I can see

You

Like

Me.

What will it take

For

Us

To

Be

Friends (lovers)

Impossible (possible)

Immoral (moral)

Wrong (right)

What I felt when

We skipped

In

The

Night.

When the buildings dripped

Streetlights blurred

The colors in

My hair,

(smell of sulfur in the air)

I was happy

(your alkaline stare)

I was pure

(not mine to share)

See, his beloved

Standing there?

The same

Colors

In

Her

Hair.
