_{week one - semi
your eyes are shades of green and blue
and your hands filthy and rough
your feet wobbly and your
legs completely open (like a
wounded bird)

you looked like any other twentysomething
except you were seventeen

- -

week two - family
you held my hand and guided me through
corners and streets and sandy paths. this
was your territory though i've climbed
it so many times before.

you told me about your family, about your
divorced parents, about your dying grandmother
and later you introduced me to them.

they all looked like i was about
to run away with their most precious thing.

- -

week three - bewilderment
she knows what he looks like by now
greenish eyes, two hands, dark hair that's so thick
you cannot see his scalp. hair on his legs yet none
on his chest. she could give a perfect missing persons sketch

and yet

his face surprises her eyes every time they look at him
and his skin can still produce patterns of uncharted territory
and he keeps telling her stuff she had no idea existed

- -

week four - just this, nothing less
"i love you", he said
and it took a while but i
said, "i love you" too}
