you speak as if the things you have to say do not cross my mind
landing in this space I felt blessed
though I don’t use these words anymore
to be here to be getting to do the work that is so satisfying to get to do it to your appreciation-
I tell myself to empower you to keep going
tides turn always it is natural
I tell myself this as your voice floats from the doorway into the channels between us
I have done the same though this makes it no easier
to love is to also never really be reached
the depth of need outweighs human capacity
always an inside job
that may be it to be here the end the answer only to keep trying
to imagine over and over and over again the satisfaction as one’s own
this way is not narcissism it has ever been born of need
for protection in order to love
