dear r: equations

dear r:


who am I?
x = y

you are me
x2 = xy

you are a part of each of us
x2- y2 = xy – y2

we are less without each other
(x-y)(x+y) = y(x-y)

but, are we not each separate?
x + y = y ?

if you look beyond, we are actually the same
2y = y

and you will see who I am
2 = 1

dear---

sometimes i draw this line
and i still don’t see it yet

i jump over it precariously
while leaving no footprints
in the sand

you cannot find grains ephemerally
you will not find time burned
into future glass

please just let me know you
vicariously

please just let me catch sweet somethings
in my hand



with love,

on this polyamorous triangle i found myself in.

I KNOW WHY

I KNOW WHY



i know why you stay(ed)

not because you want(ed) to
but because there is/was this tug
of words not said
and love that was never given
to people not noticed but starved
in the hands of those
who didn’t deserve it
gorging themselves on something
except your kisses which
should not have been wasted
on turned, blushing cheeks

you stay(ed) because

you ache(d) to know that
you are needed for
hands, thoughts, desires
slipping into hearts and feelings
and the want in the middle of the nite
for the push, the pull
beneath sheets, between legs
that tells you that
you are loved

and yes,
i stay because
i know you

i am in love with you

dear r,

i know i can make it through work without you. i know i am strong enough.
i know i can make it through life without you. but it would just be me breathing, waiting.
i don’t need you to keep my vitals going. i’ve made it this far.
but i really do need you for everything else, and, honestly,
i don’t think i could really live without you.
i know i can breathe alone
but to truly live, i know i cant.
i need you.

i love you.

DEAR R PROJECT 7.07

dear r,

i love the sounds
your breath makes as
vowels emerge from
under the bridge raising

[suspicion]
[volumes]
[stakes]

we make shapes
with our fingers
your hands found something
mine

i cant believe
this is where i am
i told myself i wouldn’t
be

i am proud of my barriers
and your strength
against them or through them
far enough in to
get a good picture

this love is a risk
who should move first?

your hands find something
mine
we are both here.

love,

JANEisnotplain 7.07

dear r,


i see
you see
me
clearly

look-
i see you
clearly
understand
me

even with
the lens in between

love,
