                                            If my rainbow were a wave

                                            Awash with pigments not of human born

                                            A wash of watercolors splashed on canvas beaches

                                            Would there ever be a tide as low as when I find my naked body thrust in frozen sterile bathroom tile

                                            (Not six feet deep enough, but deep enough)

                                            Grasping at photons whose wavelength is too long

                                            Too bright

                                            Too brief

                                            For hands to wrap around and say “I love you”


                                            To make is to be

                                            But making what I see in her

                                            Making what I wish to see

                                            Is never as easy as sitting this one out

                                            As laying down and dying

                                            As saying “I am not enough”


                                            But whenever

                                            That

                                            Comes to mind

                                            I think:


                                            “No matter what she feels for me

                                            No matter if she loves me back

                                            She’s never die to wait for my return

                                            And if she would, I’d never let her wither, shrivel up

                                            When the sky is just a flap away.”


                                            Why should I expire when she feels just the same?
