Dear Listener,

Dear Listener,

Thank you for your undivided attention.

May I kindly request you to, please, restrain your judgment

of my incoherence, any sudden eruptions of longing

or the moments my eyes drift off in wonder.

Instead, drop in with my rhythm

and show your resonance

the way your body knows best.

Ask me your questions for they are food to my stories.

Hold me gently with your presence,

not too tight, so breath can still reach

where my tenderness gathers.

No need to understand my words

if your attention can tune into my deeper layers.

For when you hold me like this,

you might have the chance

to witness the pattern that connects

The crab to the lobster, the orchard to the primrose,

and all four to me, and me to you.
