two lips

my life has never been taken from me
but it changes everyday
I reset my alarm clock often
wake up when the spirit moves me

last night I cried myself to sleep
this morning I gave myself to you

here
you can have me
I am yours

then we sat in the sunlight
and spoke of dandelions and rabbits
magnolia trees and weeping willows
and I remembered it was May

so I stopped asking for permission
instead I am asking for providence

here
where the flowers bloom
it is yours
