It Took Me a Few Times


It Took Me a Few Times

To curl my tongue

Around your name

Encrypt

My minds script


Saying I meditate

Is like

saying I exercise


What form

How often

What does it bring you


We sorted

Plastic macro

Charismatic fauna

Into acrylic bins


I don't usually

Blurt out my story

But when I saw your

Pearlescent fingernail polish

I knew

I was safe
