the outside
so pretty others startle
others and me
so tight wound others unravel
others and me

there are signs of what's inside sure
but never a roadmap
instead
You come together in bits and pieces
like seeing a rocky cliff through the trees
already wanting to be at the top
To know it
like touching a rocky spike and a gap wide enough to lose my arm in
already wanting to see the face through the water
To jump

thank you for letting me see your valleys and your spikes
