Reasons She is Crying Pt 2
Words like gentle.
Conversations about people
that are so busy trying
to feed their own needs
they cannot see anyone else’s;
the moment he says,
“it’s like the opposite of you.”
A rose on the Valentine’s day
after her breakup.
Moments that flutter out of earshot
like a pause between words,
ordinary and honest,
the most beautiful combination
of intention and accident,
the casual ways
in which she is seen.
