He casually says things
that make chocolate pale
in existence 
And I suddenly want
to coalesce into his
expression


Suspended in the moment 
between polar directions 
apart from both kids 
not a breeze 
for I'm stabilized by chocolate



I'm so in love
with men's persistence
in building massive structures
Like canola fields that stretch 
from sun to moon
they're erected in time



Every liked song -
a reminder of before
I need music for
now only



Red-tailed he swooped
so close I hit the brakes
Slowed me down
a nano-second
for me to meet my destiny
