here

what is grace?
the skill, the wish
to hold another in your hand
a stranger, especially
when they show themselves
a little more than they meant
to welcome them and say
I
am here with you and
we are here, together

God

the great dream giver
the great dream doer
the one who makes your secret wish come true

who frees you
David
from the rock

to stand in shining glory
naked, uncontained

what poems can do 2

poems take you back ten years
show you who you always were
poems show the world your
friends your loves and crushes
all the bastards all the boys

poems sit and wait for you
to hear them see them notice them

for that moment when they sing
off your lips, when you say

This is my poem.

and goddamn
I have to write it
