variations on a diary

m-m

dear sweet girl i once knew

 who doesn't fit in her new big brother's room,

 the world smoldering her heart amidst his rupturing bloom.

fret as you must.

 or, wrest yourself free.

you are as real as the cosmoscopic boy who came to be

 even if you're just a ghost caught w-ndering.

i see you.

 m-ms the word,

i hear your silent choice of love.

you may one day seek refuge—

 if, then my heart is yours to stir.

my labyrinths sprawl

 reaching.

your Big small conversation

 forever welcome

 home with me.

love,

m-m
