A bright light

I’m writing to you
Because I want to share the world with you
I want to show you trees
And tell you about woodpeckers
And teach you to swim.
I want to show you how love
Can look like an oil dipstick
Or a hot bowl of oatmeal
Or hands on your back.

And I want to find out
How the world looks to you
What colors, blues, teals, scarlets
Do you love?
What’s the texture of your heartache?
How do you take your tea?
I want to love you in ordinary ways
Ordinary extraordinary ways.
