monsoon season

last night on the couch
after frisbee and baseball
at the park
we talked serious
again
and i tried to explain
myself
and make sense of thoughts
that couldn't be made
sense of
by an mit physicist

you have been through
fires before me
and far worse
but now you've decided to
walk back in
with the pine needles
scattered
all over the forest floor
still smoking
with no
shoes on

the life you want to give
me
is there
for the taking
and there's no faking
the love we feel
realer than any
i've ever known
everything i've said
is true
you'll always be home
to me

second chances shouldn't
be for fools
but here i am anyway
and there you are
beautiful as always
my high desert wildflower
my ray
of light
with the devotion of all
the saints
you don't believe
in
and i think that
anyone who'd fuck this up
doesn't deserve
to survive
(let alone deserve you)
but that's exactly
what
we'll do
