As I sit with the thought of you
and all you know
this morning
across the table from a friend whose skin
whispers
like Spanish moss
my chest expands on its own
to make room
for all you know
Your wisdom is wider than
all the world's libraries
your capacity to feel
packs eight thousand words into none
you can't break
though we might feel your power
shattering universes of feeling
inside of us
this is simply
our watery bodies speaking
their greatest gift
our capacity to feel
We need not fear that shattering
it is what widens our world
Let us love
with the all of you
Passionately,
Your devoted student
