while I read

Seek me in the soft
Shadows where I’ve the need to play

Find me on the frilled
Fringe as I take dares each day

Catch me on the kindred

And the Sun is at our backs 

Will you give me a photograph of that
And my thumb on your cheekbone 
Watch me draw you near to me
And kiss you like a brother 

Will you leave your fingerprints against me when you leave
And I may let you
Watch the edge of my skirt billow and float
And we will be dutiful

Will we behave and watch and….
