___________
disasters.
___________the way you touch me
even
on the shoulder or on my arm
drives me crazy.
i feel thousands of emotions
playing on repeatedly in
sync with the fast nervous
pace of my heart when
my eyes land
on you.
i've got poppies in my lungs
—haven't really been able to breathe.
cause the way
you make me feel
makes gardens grow
inside me.
inside my head.
and the way you make
me feel things,
makes inexplicable
things happen
like butterflies
dancing
in my stomach.
