I wish that I was small-
small enough to climb
into your ear
and into
your head

Once I am in your head
I can touch your brain
kissing it all,
making it
better

I could fix all the pain
the pain that sits there
and lingers on
even when
lips meet

I feel so helpless, love
that I can’t fix it
like I’m meant to
with only
my love.

So I wish to be small
to live on your brain
and keep you safe
from all that
haunts you.
