I want mismatched socks under plaid sheets

Tip-toed bare feet on hardwood dancing

Morning eyes and undone hair

Call me your home and you’ll be mine

 

Where crescent moon breath

Dries lilac on the windowsill

Shape our hearts into nesting dolls

Tuck them away in velvet pitter patter

 

If you think you know

I’ll pour certainty into your palms

Settle stardust in these window panes

Their tired bones will bloom

 

Recycle my silence

Into the pauses you always forget to take

I’ll fill your fractures

With late afternoon honey

 

Let the good light lead you here

Some sun would do you good

Let the ladders down

Together we can climb the clouds
