To all the would-be lovers out there, wondering if it’s really wise to take that first step.
A fragile offering –
moonbeams
shine on
candy hearts
melting in the rain.
I want to say come in.
But my arms are too thin
to hold you and my laugh
comes and goes like a
cloud revealing sun
then passing by again to
cover its yellow eye with
rain.
I want to say come in.
My heart cracked and fiss-
ured a glacier
beginning to slide.
How you are shaking in the rain.
I hold out my hands
for the moonbeams
in your eyes
hope a fragile thing
melting in the rain.
