the way that I write it
I want you to know every
pause at the keyboard
everu
every backspace
everyexcitedthoughtcomingthroughasfastasIthoughtitasfastasItriedtotypeitoutforyou
every passing thought that I will save for some other time
notes in the margin
I want the cadence in my head to come through
on the page
but I know it cannot
not
perfectly
but maybe I decide to trust that you know what you need
that you will read what you need to hear
that you will find yourself here in the words
that you can protect my poems better than I ever could myself
That its better this way because it means just as much to you as it means to me
even if that meaning is different
especially, when the meaning is different.
