For Jacob

the smile crinkles the corners of your eyes
and I'm lost
drowning in bluesky irises I can't run away from
can't say I much want to either
my heart is in my stomach
churning unromantically
skipping erratically around my lungs
let me breathe, please
spinning spinning dizzy
stop thinking start
feeling
the way you put your hand on my shoulder
lost again
the taste of your mouth on my tongue
like mist in my eyes
the oneline crackling in my ears
solidifying to fog
everything loses perspective
falling drowning losing
muddled up in some strange
exquisite aching
don't let go
not yet
smile
and dizzyingly I fly
somewhere with endless skies
so much blue it hurts.
