title: we’re gray and watercolor
you sleep with arms around a glass jar
(full) of twin purple butterflies
that escape from our laughs,
and our midnight tango-taps on the
summer porch,
(full) of ice tea dates by the pier,
pomegranates and cigarette smoke picnics
in the noonday sun
you’re afraid, I can tell.
we’re gray and watercolor
sleeping side by side
my eyes spell lullabies
onto your nervous arms
wrapped around the jar
you don’t have to hold on so tight,
i promise i’m not going anywhere (without you)
What do you think it means?
Does it make sense?
If not, which parts don't make sense?
Any suggestions for improvement/things you would change?
