don't say no, no

Words, letters of affection, poetry

& art erupting with expression


Music notes, dancing slow,

Bodies joining, hearts colliding

& hanging records on the walls


Concert tickets, sleeping in,

Philosophizing, speaking in unison

& being happy while angry;

Grateful and wanting


I’ve been restlessly waiting

Mindlessly pacing

Watching the sun rise

Outside my window

At 4 AM


Your arms are the only place I can say “I am home.”
