Forgive me,
I have done it all wrong.
In every way that I hoped not to act,
I have failed.
Forgive me,
I love you beyond logic
Where the loudest blossoms shout yellow, pink.
Listen to the fragrance of bloom.
Inhale the whisper of nature.
My lips part for your kiss only.
You know my mouth’s deep intimacy.
This is my long-form farewell tour.
I am but a bank of buttons and knobs
Laid plain for you to press up against.
This is past chest-pounding,
This is specific,
Forgive me
For whispering in symbols while
I watch stars dance between palm fronds.
