i was so dark in
that room
but the light folded
softly
the grey dog eared edges
i do not know if i know
my own walls so
well
and you, head-up
staring at me
you were just so
fascinating
so beautiful
your face was so pale
your lips so shadowed
your eyes so curious

and you were mine
and i could touch you
and i could touch you
and you were mine
