please do not leap away from me !
i hold nothing but love
jars of it
bubbling over and spreading in waves
i want to be a piece of you
as you are of me
to feel for moments what tears at
your soul
simple or complex or both
to feel how it is to not be whatever i am
how much it saddens me--
you have run so often from footsteps
of violence and harm
you must run from me as well
