do i fit?
by Gabrielle L GervaisMy pages of black and white
are dimmed by the vibrant shining of your smile.
And the tangled words of my life become focused.
And you hold my hand and crisply punctuate the overplayed
all is well
and I know that too often, clichés fit-
just right in the cusp of the elbow
and we know
by living
that the words of passion and hunger and love
are said too much- and if we arent careful
they become letters and we lose
the fact that they are life, they are air
of soul and of poetry
