Drawers of Water

08.06.20

In the morning she covers me with kisses
pours whiskey down my throat
honey drops
grapes, strawberries
drawers of water

Never before has a strawberry tasted so good.

She reads Fanatic Gardens
and she says that I am real and raw and huge
and she doesn`t believe it.

Fanatic Gardens is an imperfect gift
a shirt that she wants me to wear that is
missing a button right over my heart.
Fanatic Gardens is what a smile looks like
from half an inch away
when she is kissing you.
It`s that look she gets when she just doesn`t believe you
eyebrows angled and lips pursed
and you can see that little glimmer of hope
that maybe this is for real.
