if there’s such a thing
as me for you,
how would you have
me be?
like a comfy room in
your house for you
to come home to?
like a park with a grassy
space for sunning or
flying a kite?
like a velvet bed
surrounded by
flickering candles
& incense?
like a forest?
as your second willing hands
& feet & eyes &
nose?
as your happy-play-time
teddy bear who’ll
never run away?
as a life-boat filled
with money on a
debt-ridden sea?
like a dream-beast
who’s discovered
your body in
his cave?
as a ring on your finger
of undying
gold?
like the sunlight that
rises like a flower
in your chest?
as a laughing sage
pointing at the
moon?
as a friend you can
trust like a
snowy mountain?
like a blank diary
filled with
open possibilities?
like word-fire
in your soul
making love to your
heart?
or just another
forgotten prayer
for rain?
