first to fire
when you breathe, I inhale too.
I wish you would hold me
and let go of your fears/apprehension
everyone hears the words
nobody reads the meaning.
hold me close
and don’t worry because
i have no one else to hold
so i hold my own breath.
I wait.
I get to see you
tonight, saturday, & monday
I can’t wait
but I linger;
I’ll stay
And palm to palm
is holy pilgrims kiss.
