you say, "Oh darling, you've grown!"


but I only see your face now


in the Smoky Shop Windows,
as if our legs move to the Same Beat
and our kindred fingers unwind in the Same Time


as burdens unveil, I do not cry


a heart pulsated by your grip


throat charred by your drought


but I do not cry


why?


because I’ve Grown.
