Where you want me
I find myself clumsy and unfamiliar
with the pattern of his staircase
and awkward yet at home
with the touch of his hand,
your words find me electronically
and I’m surprised
by the urgency of your concern.
So for taking your cues to leave
as a cue to leave,
I apologize.
But I’m easy,
not naive.
I’m devoted
but hard to keep.
