At least when I feel, I feel unequivocally,
Can’t nobody hurt like I can
At least when I cry
I cry unabashedly
And I look at you brazen eyed
Daring judgment on a life you’ve never known
Daring words of comfort that might fall short
But would be brave enough to make me believe in you
At least when I laugh
I laugh loudly
Echoing
Letting the waves roll from my diaphragm
And sing the sound of my joy
Daring you to call my humor uncouth
And judge intentions that aren’t yours
Daring you to overlook politically incorrect words in a way that
Might wound your character
But would be kind enough to make me want you
At least when I explain an anecdote halfheartedly
I have hope
That you will ask a question you have no right to
That borders on the edge of the personal
Where I could meet and deny you
But would be brash enough
To intrigue me

Yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, but all that lives is born to die.
