ode to chicago


dear reader,


'There are thousands of species

of love separately invented,

with each more ingenious than the last,

and every one of them keeps making new things.'


i really don't know what i would do without you

you're making me fall in love

in a new way

find a new way to love

and be loved

bravely

kinda like-

i wasn't in the procession

next to you

and now i am


i’ll love you for the rest of my life

because of how well

you’re loving me now

for redefining what loving me well

feels like

i'll love you for the rest of my life


as a bee gaining purpose when chilled,

with the quaking approach of cold,
