i'm wiser

like the leaf that falls
to the grey
scratchy concrete
unable to tolerate
the heat
i give up
to me
when i
meet
someone like you
you

like the storm that blew
harder than we expected
I'm the tree that you
fell
you turned off the electricity
and blocked the road

you who neither stays
nor goes away

you who neither will be
nor was

you took my skin like
it was silk to wrap
around you

you who used your hand
to change my direction
like the clay on a pottery wheel

you who still sits in my skin and
like the itch of
a mosquito bite
from the weekend trip to the lake

Unable to control myself
i scratch you
and you grow
you grow
