Electrostatic currents,

running through microchips,

dancing in wires

powering my laptop,

enabling facebook,

and that message

you send that says

I

love

you

with a time stamp reading 5:22

and I reply 30 seconds later

with

I

love

you too.

simple and sweet

but those

Electrostatic currents

cannot show what i mean.

When I say

I

love

you,

I’m ricocheting

off of anything accessible

off the mirrors

in which i see your reflection

off the alarm clock

that stops the dreams of you and me

off the pen on the night table

that scribbles journal entries about your cheek bones

off the box of crayons

that as a kid illustrated my version of love

Which is monumental

like a father’s smile

or a mother’s home-cooked meal

like our song

and our long lasting phone call

like all the words i could have easily condensed to

I

love

you...

like the sounds of trumpets announcing

a prince

or princess

I am

like the lace wrapped wounds to your soul

like the 14 girls who-

when  faced with you-

swoon so hard its crazy

I am just a little hazy

when i approach my  thoughts

with a  tentative walk

down the steep incline road

to my reservoir of feelings that

swirl in a vat of insecurities

and bubble and steam

until  the dam breaks

when i send you a message a 6:02

saying

It is

hard to live

without you.
