i’ve traced your veins, only with my eyes
and i’ve sung delicately, waywardly
would you plant carousel kisses on me?
you carry the ocean in your eyes
and the north wind laces your bones
i like your songful, trembling hands
and chai tea from that street cafe
i collect dreams in glass jars
and tremulous feelings
red and khaki
dimples and regrets
share with me honey breaths
and the touch of soft hands
