When our bodies

and borders

start to unfurl

like so many misshapen wings

Stay.

When the dawn

starts to break

and one by one

the last remnants of sleep

fall away

Stay.

When I shout

I love you

for no reason

other than the feeling itself

Stay.

When our bones

find each other on a path

not wholly of our choosing

Stay.

When I chase you

because my heart is too hot

and too heavy to grasp

Stay.

When I am watery

and too scarred/scared

to feel my feelings

Stay.

When the labels peel and chaff

and we forget ourselves

in the act of being together

Stay.

      1. Writer of Words talked about the block editor on one of her posts. I found what she said very helpful. I always type my post on Word and then copy and paste into WordPress. It doesn’t always show the spaces and layout that I had originally. But I made do. I am certain to be pulling my hair out too. 😊❤❤❤
