when it comes to
seeing you
my body reacts
before my mind does

I water a plant
pull down my top
smooth the fly aways
of my hair

press my finger
on a sticker
for my sister’s coffee shop
on the back of my car
to smooth out a bubble

I feel lifeless and the
routine is making me reach
for this electric current
and a feeling that
can’t reach absolution

and I like it.
