her burning passion and certainty
allures me

my body is dark blue
dissipates in the rain
becomes indecisive in the night
i bite the side of its cuticles

and she
she explodes with a match
lit by signature grins
unwavering by the wind

i watch my spirit move into the mirror
like a snake
not made to be there

she just is
without fear and
I just don't know how
she can be so sure

she comes with sparkling humour
i arrive late
with open wounds and
no band aids
