By the guppy
Date: 25 August 2000
being the guppy
i look at the sky
the stars framed with basswood leaves
maybe they lend me their voice
or maybe mine just bounces off of them
before they reach you
i don't mind the twisted mess of august
the connection is welcomed
i don't mind the peaceful feeling at this moment
i can't look at you though
and i can't speak all of my thoughts
it is too hard to look upon someone so bright
knowing that my desire would cause pain along with pleasure
and knowing that your desire would do the same
i look at the stars
dim in comparison
i am not at risk
except in judgement of myself
i fear my wrath
i fear my damage
i long to feel you
two to one
i can't overlook those odds
