in the frayed distance
the bluebirds are not really blue
and the hummingbirds are not really humming

I stand upside down
so I can feel flushed
I crawl into crawl spaces
so I can feel held

I can love you
to love me

I can make you feel
like you want to feel
but my eyes are closed
it’s as if the window
to who you are
is shut

can I dance
when I lead you
into your soul

can the soul
make love

I guess that would be
the journey’s prize

can I finally tell you
I don’t think I can
I can take almost anything
I lost me fear
of anything else
a lifetime ago

but you who
I want forever
I’ll never tell
so sad but true

I can write of love
but to speak the word
to let you know
eludes me

supposed to be
alone in love

Nice poem .
