flowers bloom from me
you planted them; they are you
a gardener's care

two leaves of a tree
where you fall I will follow
my home is with you

cruel concrete conspires
when you're rushing home hands full
crack! the curb attacks

when you're far away
my mind rests on you — it holds
you like my hands can't

your mood seeps into mine
like a new leaf bag in old tea

you're sad today
so I'm sad too

yet still I drink this tea of ours
because it tastes of you

some steps like this one
seem stubbornly out of reach:
____ ___ _____ __?

made me think of you:
 1. every couple in Walmart
 2. my king-size pillow
