i swept the floor and in the end i swept my insides out

right back at you
knocking on the door
sword to sword
eye to eye
we get to where we are
to see each other
only after we figure out
how to love this world
giving what is alive in us
even if it is dead

love begets love
smile a smile
even a wound smiles
and a smile requires its own end
la la back and forth
your words have found my shape and gather around it
love gathers around the boundary of my world
that is how i am know i am still here
words foaming at the mouth
the heart can lurch across the floor and say hi i am pet
feed me
the next day i am sitting in your lap
purring
