What we lose

When I was young

I could speak to animals,

these days

I don’t know what to say.

They used to sniff my ears,

but now

they smell my fear

and walk away.

You eat me up and I like it

The air is wet with pressure.

You stare at me across the table.

I feel like if I move

It will begin to rain.

You pile your fork and smile through mouthfuls.

Overwhelmed, I lean across to press my smile against your chewing lips.

The first thing I noticed about you was your lips;

Shaking with pressure.

Capable of mighty mouthfuls.

I gave you my hand. All my cards were on the table.

When we stood in the storm by the river, I couldn’t tell your kisses from the rain.

We kept still and let the planet move.
