Tanto

You’re too much for me

You make me feel hope that scares me

(My lack of fear is frightening)

You make me believe even as you say no to this

(How miraculous that we even met)

You create currents where there should be no waves

But where water needed to move

(The thrill of being swept away)

You are pure faith

And We are spirit’s plan in motion

Creation moves in the air between my eyes and your soul

(Let’s make something)

You’re much too much for me

With your piercing eyes

And opening mouth with corners moving when you see me

(You’ve known me)

The way you settle into a bone heap on the ground and dive away when you throw shade

(Our wits can dance)

It’s too much

how it feels so concluded and resolved when we break bread with friends

And you let your leg fall onto mine

(We should walk together)

It’s so easy

And easily impossible.

It’s so much too much.

(Join me on the bridge)
