Planet Earth

Take a seat

Not on the sidewalk

You’re a lady and
I won’t even

Touch that

And they won’t touch

Me or the concrete

Benches where we watch

Its dark here

Peace and water moving

Rest under this darkness as

Often as I

Do, don’t

Close your fists

Open your fingers

I want to touch them to

The insides of my wrists

If your hands were a color

Other than you, I’d

Ask God to make you white
Blue, like the ocean

To show me

There’s infinity growing

I need to crash into

Tides pull me under

Sheets, I only think

Keep breathing,

Kami, keep

Breathing in your

Corner is unfolding me

Like the love note

I’m too shy to write
