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.
