Eros & Philia
The city lights conspiring to hide the cold shimmer of starlight from our eyes; walks together: a flower & it’s thorns, sharing our thoughts, secrets, fears & feelings,
each the other’s mirror using silk to remove any marks that prevented us from seeing clearly & the resulting electrostatic charge binding us together.
All of this & more is a gift,
& every poem I give you is an attempt to make amends for being no more than an unremarkable, undeserving mammal.
