Caitlin

we sat..

i felt matte.

 

you touched my leg

and made a crack

in the shell of the egg

that was my back….bone

 

you inspire

and conspire

you’re brave

and you save

 

we laid..

and remade.

 

seven years

you broke down the blockade

as we shared those beers

amongst the leaf blades

 

cheers.

 

you buffed

and sloughed

 

we sit..

and i admit.

 

you are my root

my reason for pursuit

the sensei to my bamboo shoot

helping me grow foot by foot

 

and today..

i can say

 

as we sit..

i am a shiny new misfit
