funny how we could share so much
yet I was still unsure
how you would react
to my light touches
matching the early
chirping
so instead
your breath
guided my shadows
across the peaks
and valleys
of your back

I felt sure once
and it faded away
this was a different kind of sure
becoming
sure

before my eyes
guided me
to sureness
this time
my mind

but perhaps neither path
would really
lead me there

was
sureness
even enough

we practiced convincing

you
then
I

our reasons
sounded so sure
so ideal
to ourselves

we convinced
and excused so much
we missed
what was there

funny
how we knew we understood
sureness
pretended to
define
every part

when really
there was sureness
between
in our cannon
of movements
after one another
in our glances
in the air
we shared

my shadow embraced you
silently
beneath
the birds'
morning
scales

my shadow tried
to tell you
the sureness
my heart
felt
