INTIMACIES, RECEIVED

Having you was like having a baby.

A box of matches carrying bees across a lake.

I keep the reel of your passport photo

in my coat pocket, bent around a coin.

There were many nights when you threatened to run away.

If falling in love is a decision,

I listened for the click in your breath.

You aren’t old enough to know yet

few people have your best interest

at heart. At heart, I swept the wet glass

of you throwing pills across the street.

When you were sick, I wrote your weight

in kilograms so you wouldn’t understand

what was happening.
