Calendar.

i’m thinking about how
your name sounds safe
in my mouth
you look at me
like a forceful commitment 
i look at you like 
wednesday afternoon 

my hands were made
to lead yours
yet still
you can’t take the heat
for too long
maybe that’s why
i’m so confused

you
in all your flawless beauty
green eyes like a moss fire
burning me
standing at
the kitchen sink
fill your water glass
do for me
as i’d do for you

your hands
a welcome distraction
this is a place where i
can come undone
i want to be watered daily -
yet only to grow
with you
