                                            3.
                                            
                                                If my rainbow were a wave

                                            4.
                                            
                                                Awash with pigments not of human born

                                            5.
                                            
                                                A wash of watercolors splashed on canvas beaches

                                            6.
                                            
                                                Would there ever be a tide as low as when I find my naked body thrust in frozen sterile bathroom tile

                                            7.
                                            
                                                (Not six feet deep enough, but deep enough)

                                            8.
                                            
                                                Grasping at photons whose wavelength is too long

                                            9.
                                            
                                                Too bright

                                            10.
                                            
                                                Too brief

                                            11.
                                            
                                                For hands to wrap around and say “I love you”

                                            12.

                                            13.
                                            
                                                To make is to be

                                            14.
                                            
                                                But making what I see in her

                                            15.
                                            
                                                Making what I wish to see

                                            16.
                                            
                                                Is never as easy as sitting this one out

                                            17.
                                            
                                                As laying down and dying

                                            18.
                                            
                                                As saying “I am not enough”

                                            19.

                                            20.
                                            
                                                But whenever

                                            21.
                                            
                                                That

                                            22.
                                            
                                                Comes to mind

                                            23.
                                            
                                                I think:

                                            24.

                                            25.
                                            
                                                “No matter what she feels for me

                                            26.
                                            
                                                No matter if she loves me back

                                            27.
                                            
                                                She’s never die to wait for my return

                                            28.
                                            
                                                And if she would, I’d never let her wither, shrivel up

                                            29.
                                            
                                                When the sky is just a flap away.”

                                            30.

                                            31.
                                            
                                                Why should I expire when she feels just the same?
