shining
i lean against the
black fence
crisscrossing
you are warm
tell me stories to make
me laugh
the green grass is deep
i am full
i am empty
both hungry
the prickles along your chin
you will laugh
and look at me
you are pretty
delivering these words
and i will shhhhhhh
because i know
that i need that
affirmation too much
and you know that
i do
too
