lament

it’s been some time since I’ve known you

recognized you and craved you

i want to cry.

why did i run from you?

why did i run, when you are how i know i feel,

when you are how i know that i am human

that i think and desire

that i live?

now i’m clumsy, unfamiliar and unsure around you

and i have thoughts too big for my lips and too heavy for my shoulders;
