give me images that
wrap me up like a story
about bluebirds and
children
did you know ‘the land
of take down’ painting
has been stolen
but not the story
of my pleasure
draw me a memory
bigger than your kiss
more gentle than your smile
and more comprehensive
than your insecurities
teach me about
indian paint brushes
and create an icon
that reflects the gentle time
i have spent with you
to hold when i am not
spending time with you
