Dialect.

(please keep writing your poems)
(as i throw tangled thoughts at this small town sky)
(i make sense of my breaths when i read them)
(you are the only one who sees over the edge of my soul)

Tender.

tender twilight.
did you know it can be dawn as well as dusk?
it is my favorite time of day.
what is your favorite time of day?

i'm sorry that sometimes i can't separate.
i am practicing.

tender shadows.
timid warmth.
old carpet.
holes in the window screen.
all your tender memories.

You are my tender love.
through it all.

You love me.
