baby mush

a firm grip

like offering a finger to a baby
they wrap their tiny curved fingers around yours
and struggle to let go.

and i guess it only makes sense
when you offer pieces of yrself
that i envelope them and struggle to let go

because you bring me back
to innocence and childlike wonder
two babies vulnerable, just struggling to figure out
how to survive in this world

and i have this feeling like yr struggling to let go
of the pieces of me that i wanted you to see
but you took in that grip cause what you wanted was
me

because i bring you back
to innocence and childlike wonder
two babies vulnerable. cursed with a case of
bad timing

co-signing that this feels right but not right now
but one of these days, this world will become ours

because we bring each other back
to innocence and childlike wonder
two babies invincible if their
tiny curved fingers never figure out how to let go.
