poem: "Like This"
Like This
I love you like this
like taking the first sip of coffee
or pulling bread from the toaster
like teetering on the edge of the pool
or drawing in the last cool breath before stepping outside
like staring at a Willow Arlenea painting
or listening to Prokofiev
like opening my eyes
or moving my fingers
like standing in the middle of the ocean
or swimming in the earth
like this.
