WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME

I -
Insouciant
ingracious
indifferently
benign

You -
courageous,
flagrantly outspoken -
have opened
my mind

Nestling joy
suckles at this breast
Awakened longing
from what was
an insensate mess

A ratchet to my desires
has been wrenched at the wheel
I am alive again
I breath
I feel

Great to hear back from you!
Stay well.

the dictionary one would have to refer
that's why
I compose simple in words
a kid can't dispose
