i am

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

you asked once what i wish for today i am considering strangely that you know me through this silence as i am and how dare i do this for you all light and heart have shared and see in you i am flustered hands and feathers flying (the wings broke long ago as did my pretty little circle) but still tasting what you take into you and i ache and dull alternately for this we don't define and have made it a way of life so presently to answer i shall decline for now i am beat and wretched and wish no more than to be you (for june) Written February 7th, 2002 © on Feb 07 2002 05:08 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
