I have a slow heart
A slow soul
A slow mind
Mired in a thick stream
Running down river
I can only follow
Learning my sums awkwardly
I’ve thick fingers
Writing my words out neatly on banana leaves
Spelling slipping deeper
Remember, remember to bring something to keep afloat
When your head dips below
I’m not loving easy
Count people I’ve loved on 2 hands
would take me too long
They’d find someone else
love if it comes at all
is too slow and too permanent
once I do I never stop
getting me there is a rattling against normalcy
metaphor for my recalcent soul
You’re a luminescent girl of smiles
I’m the heavy earth to your bright sky
Wading in heavy indigo deep
