so-

we saw each other today.

you remembered and remembered and remembered...

I pinched my lips to stop my silver smile

from falling

at your feet.

you smiled so bright

like the white

fat

moon

and I played with my eyes

and sat on my joy

bursting it

with needles of pleasure

the wooden chair not spacious

enough

to occupy my joy and

me.

it made me restless

and I fidgeted like

a worm sneaked in

and kept licking at the nervousness

curbing inside.

I swallowed my fear

and I stared at my hands

I heard your laughter

while I fiddled with my hanky

I heard your gazing

but I rocked my feet

I heard your smile

like you knew my secret

and I pinched my lips

turned my head

to stop my smile

from

reaching

your

eyes...
