This is all I ever wanted to be.
A warm set of lips, and trees,
and blankets of gentle words
to wrap people up, and hold them still.
I wanted so many hot lights
to simmer and shimmer lightly
in my endless summer evening,
that never glared, and never faded out.
You’ve seen for yourself
the steep black seashore rocks
I ended up full of instead.
