he's afraid ~ A Poem a Day in May





his face was long with sadness
his eyes were empty as the universe
he'd smile to you 
but all you get is fear
hugs? they're colder than ice cubes in your freezer
you'd get close but he's farther than jupiter
as he spoke his voice was shaken 
it was shakier than the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco
he'd give you love 
but no love for himself
he gives you hugs
hugging a spirit
He's scared to get
close


i'm not.
