One With Me Always
What does it feel like
To be like a hologram
Scrawled upon my body?
Your contours tickle my form
As I carry you through my day
You don’t stay still
You dance in and around me
Like a stop-animation line drawing
Made of many colors
You weave as if on a loom
You dip and bounce like a buoy
Safe in the ocean
What does it feel like
To be one with me always?
And is this how a mother feels
Holding her baby who all day
Climbs her like a mountain?
