I could go on about how it was a glimpse
of some things I didn’t imagine.
My brain still turning
despite the gears being clogged.
You made a box for me.
Hidden compartments, secret codes,
a smile, that does glisten,
an endless stream of patter,
a bond stronger
than papers and regulation.
Cradle it.
Cradle it.
Cradle it.
I know the answer, what
all the decisions have led to:
different ends
of a spectrum but closer
than anything.
