[back pocket]

i wish you had a small heart.

one which i could keep

in the unopened bud of a flower,

and cup between my hands.

not something so big and so fragile,

which i could break so easily

and never be able to apologise for.

please come home. i am waiting

with your heart and mine

in wineglasses, so i can tell you

these are both yours.

i am ready to love you now.
