how particular
you organize yourself /
shoes by the door
and flannels on the hanger /
you let me in
moment by memory /
heart trusts
by the milliseconds /
time is infinite
not where but when /
wrap me up
in your arms /
if you ask,
i’ll stay here forever /
let me rest my head
on your chest /
your heart races under my chin
and i think i know what i want /
yet i falter each time
clearing my throat for a pause /
if you feel the same,
speak what I stutter
