love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

affection
'sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see' -save the best for last.

i hold affection
like a pencil in my hand.

its round tip
threatens to spill
stammering confessions
onto an unblemished sheet.

i twirl its weight
lightly between careful fingers,
pondering.

if i let it drop,

the broken nib
will scratch the paper, rendering it in-
erasable.

but a gust of wind
tips the balance;
i snatch at it
wildly,
shaking fingers curling around its
wooden warmth, stuffing it
roughly away.

its slim form fits
snugly against my leg;

hidden.

yours truly
