She wraps herself around you twice
Like the day and how breakfast blends into lunch
when she sleeps too late -
your lines are melting into her like mid-day.
grilled cheese,
and scrambled eggs you only know how to cook things that are yellow
it's her favorite color,
you like the way four feet entwine until it's a mystery
which toes are yours, which are hers
the button-down, blue and white Nautica
it's so big she looses her hands sometimes
(and you have to help her find them)
there are mornings when you wake up first
just to watch her dreaming and
you don't mind kissing her before she's brushed her teeth.
on days she cries too much
or giggles
at nothing in particular
The worst thing she ever heard was
a father telling his son to avoid sad people.
You say that people like her are brilliant
not just to make her feel better but because
you believe it's true.
and how, although Porsches are great,
she thinks Mazdas are cuter -
So you promise to buy her a Mazda...
and she promises to stop kicking your ass at Nintendo
whispers about how she dreamed of distant cosmos...
because it's not quite noon but it's way past breakfast,
and she's thinking
about teaching you how to cook something new
