Herman Shorts

for me

 
 
i love you
for the doubt
you show me still
possible in this body
where you show me
it sits in wait
for love like
a laser to
turn into colors.
no trick to
make it
leave, no
never. stay and cry
this bathtub full.
i love you like
her lips
smile, her eyes
(w/o makeup)
her hair
twirling
round her fingers.
i love you like
my favorite songs
always remind me
i love you.
