chaos in your wake
caramel scented
the straight lines disintegrate
curls, curves, smiles
I cannot square these in the neatness of my life
so I make space for the wonder that is you
how is it I'm a mess when you're near
you clean and tidy
you are kind and soft
but somehow a force of nature
you're like the thunderstorms I remember
soothing, wild
rain that calms and runs through my hair
disrupting stillness
how can I list the ways you smile
the sounds of you speaking and not
no class or structure can contain you
how I love this disarray
