I run - you see me run

I watch you watching me 

I am curious

​

I swim - you imagine 

my fingers twisting the sinews of water

I am naked and blue

​

I remain - you hover

you presume 

I 

​

I sleep - I dream of waking

you steal my waking

k

​

I climb - you marvel

I need to climb

You need me to fall

​

I sail - you feel the storm

​

the salt almost breaks me

​​

I touch your back - 

​

​​

I finger the harsh gold threads

the knots of 

you linger on my lips

​

You watch me still 

but I left - hopscotched on the stars 

when I was nine
