#6

both for and from...all my grief....and my gratitude

#5

you threw me a rope and told me it was a lifeline
you were so much bigger than me then
you were like a planet

that was a lifetime ago when all i wanted
was to be the ocean- the way you called out my name
the way i receded from a room- or entered one

the two indistinguishable from one another
but always the same insatiable desire
to hear you say my name
