how i spent these years without you i will never know. your kindness lowered my shoulders and i could finally breathe in freedom. i could drench myself in your eyes, soak and unfurl. my whole heart is here now. i dried flowers from my chest until i bloomed violets and emerged a meadow. i crossed through your arches where you held me with your eyes, suspended, to float. i climbed iron stairs i hung thyme in doors and cast shadows into your living room. i hung branches from my wrists because i wanted you to see me. i told them: “i see everything all the time”. they didn't believe me but i know you see it all too. i slowed down my music so they could hear it but you heard it all so loud. i wiped off my lips and ate bitter leaves of anise just so i could feel a pulse on my tongue. i hung branches from my arms so i could feel the soil on me i felt new again when you brought me there; its like i went upstream    like i fell through walls    like i became a woman i could only see my eyes in yours, and i don't think i can breathe again (you’re back and everything that i lost and was brought home again).
