We Haven’t Always Lived in a Yellow House
Give me a clean box
To put my love in/
/I will
We will be vivid and liquid
When we are alone
And lit from within by our
secrets.
I will put our letters here
We will have a happy time
Even if it should have been
Done differently/
/But what if
Unfinished summers crushed by
The space that time heavily took
up.
Maybe it’s time to break the mirror And leave the windows open
So that we can finally breathe
Without anyone watching us/
/everybody’s here now
Voice like blossom petals and bison fur, Light with a gifted touch, salve from good
women.
