Poetry by Jennifer Wagner. From grit to sparkle.
you ask me to
and i don’t know how to answer
i want to
know
what it’s like to stay
now
so much
in that look
my cells
multiplying
like time-lapse
photosynthesis
curling myself
around that
one
word
as if
light

One word can carry a huge emotional charge, for sure.
Romantic, inviting and with some hesitation. I think we all desire connection and closeness. Beautiful poem.
that Belly song plays in my head as I read this. A fraught word ~
