260: I love how/(I think)...

I love how

                    (I think)

the air changes when

you walk by

           my imagination of perfumed atmosphere

           that surrounds you

 

I love

           the hang of your hand

           your gait

           the casual ponytail

                      that my attention can’t ignore

 

I like how

you have no idea

I have a crush on you

           the silly million

           things I imagine about you (every day)

 

I love how actually

          knowing you would bring

          that crashing down

 

destroying my daydreams in

          an instant

                    like waking up from

                    the cloud of my mind

                    to (sudden) satori

 

I like how the

reality of you wouldn’t

be as good (as my imaginings)

but it would be true

 

Show me one true thing

             a moment, a pebble, a broken clock

                          one true anything

 

and you will have discovered

a new kind of beauty

not perfect

 

            but sustaining
