“I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you.”

“

I.
When I think of your heart, I think of a snakebite to
the chest.

II.
Uncountable lifetimes ago there was an empire in
Egypt. We burned the libraries. We destroyed the
temples. Everything that was beautiful then is lost
to us now.

III.
These days, poetry is the only language I know how
to speak. But you speak anthropology. You speak
hieroglyphs. You spend your life studying things I
only bury in metaphors.

IV.
When I think of my heart, I think of stone tombs.

V.
Last year, they found Cleopatra’s palace sunk deep
in the Mediterranean sea. But anything they could
learn from the ruins of her home is not worth empty-
ing oceans for.

“How long have you been crying?
Hum something
your mother taught you.
Anything is fine.
Feel it vibrate in your chest.
That’s where your heart is,
still beating,
still wrestling life into you,
still pushing back against the world.”
