Small Hands

my heart is too full too much
to come out of something so small as my fingertips
volumes of feeling on a shelf in my soul
my hands are so insignificant..short and stumbling
trying, tapping code to worlds
hear me hear me
realize
i’m full to bursting now
one more wind and i’ll fly
and no sky can hold me
--not the way you do
and i’ll taste this summer on my tongue
a lifetime longer than any kiss
holding you and everything you mean
closer than sleep on a winter morning
i’m dizzy when i come to you
the way you know exactly what i need
the words you toss at me, almost casually
that stun me to silence and
and i could cry sometimes
all these things i used to hear
in my imagination
telling myself "you read too much"
watching you do the things you do
the way your life is woven into your eyes
and seeing you under the hallway light
makes me smile and stay ..a little longer
forever (just ask)
