while harvesting green beans ears for velvet,
i tell you i don’t know what love is
but if i had to guess id say
it’s this
it’s handfuls and handfuls of this
i was with you when you saw
your first shooting star
i saw poetry in your curls
as you stared up at the sky
open-mouth, wonder-eyed
i teach you new words all the time:
tome, icarus, uncanny valley.
but you,
you teach me what words mean:
patience, tenderness, love.
keep me like casper
like treasures and chatzkies
at the very least
at the very least
keep me
