tethered ankles I am wisp
your hand passes, wind-swayed I bow
close eyed
I do not remember how I moved,
how I spoke to bring you to me
how to whisper-tone your voice
how to hold your glare
I drop things
cut my cloth
smaller I stand
bared to you
"too literal darling!
too many pronouns pass your lips!"
your fist-crush carnation
presses pink from my petals
I melt like wafer on tongue
