i am sure i am not
the first to put a grape stem
on an envelope
but i am fairly sure
i am the first to do it on
the cover of a poem to you
and i am the first that
knows how to spin sweet love
in your direction
so much so you can't even
begin to talk to me about it
you can't even communicate
what you know you should
say to me
and you know if you don't
you will lose something
you might never ever
get back again
and because of that
you will start anew
and do what you know you
are not comfortable doing
or lose what brings you
so much comfort
and you are smart enough
to make all the right moves
