-Dad
Give me your arms and
tie them around me.
Give me your fingers and
knot them around my heart.
There are things that exist in you
that I am looking for, and if you
see things in me, and can look
beyond the grotesque slights
and adornments of my body,
then curl over me
and keep me safe.
I need your four walls
because I am falling into myself.
I will be gentle with you,
paint you, hang curtains over
your eyes to sleep.
But first you must love me.
Every home will be your home.
