it's not that I need you

it's only that
you own the air

and the far violet rim
of the earth
is yours

and the sudden forest
blooming
when you brush past me

here, where I'm showing you

it's only that
my heart
beats to the rhythm of wings

in your air

it's not
that I need you

Devika--enjoy your time off--see you soon!

Lorraine--I think you've got it! And your self-portraits get prettier all the time...
