today,
you asked me something
you said: "where is home?"

my ear resting
on your chest,

i heard the crashing waves
of oxygen splashing against
your lungs

saw the vermillion depths
of eyes i drowned in
over and over again

felt the roots of your arms
growing and twisting
grounding me,

felt the flora of your fingers
the roses pretty but thorned
pricking my skin

today, i finally answered you
i said: "wherever you are"

//after writing this in a notebook I stumbled on a similar poem by e. e. cummings. i recommend his works.
