Fragile Talking

Warm sunny Sunday

Come sit, my darling

You are yellow and blue but not afraid, not sad

Together we dent the couch, sinking in

You’re so close, I breathe you. My heart’s a balloon, filling, stretching.

Pick who you want to talk to

I ask you to give us some words, if you can. Are they light inside you today, effervescing at the top of your throat?

“Yes,” soft and fragile, floats like a bubble.

Finger crooked over the letters, darting: where are they? Don’t lose the word, quick. I’m breathless waiting for the connection.

Fingertip to key,

Words to me.
