yes, you do, but
not in the way you're thinking,
not
in the sense of us both making
decisions we're too smart to,
on taking needless chances
with our bodies
all these things pale in comparison
to the things that live in my head,
what lives between my hesitancy
and your tendency
to run
we should handle like fragile eggs
what we have in the small moments,
what we create at our table,
and savor all our smells combining to say
home, you are home, home
in my arms.
so yes, let's be careful
to preserve
what home we have,
let's not get so caught up
we make mistakes
with the spaces between us,
but don't be careful
with me,
let's just burn
