Gifts

maybe all i
have
to give
is
a tangle of
black
and
white
words on
this page

perhaps
i should cook
(like he said)
or do laundry

but
in the deepdown
mud of me

i want to give
what i
need

and how
would i hand
a wind kiss on my shoulder
the green of a leaf
to you?

the blue in my fingernails
or a laugh on her red lips?
i could make bracelets
or spread
me
around
(if that’s
enough)

i suppose
i should
ask
what you need
first.
