Poem About Both Of Us
You have these little nubs of bone
on the tops of your shoulders they always make me think you are in danger the way they announce their vulnerability but you go around anyway you go outside and I think you are so brave. There is a piece of your body that appears when you are sleeping it is between your spine and shoulder blade it is a patch of skin that gives a bit so I can put the side of my face in it and that’s one of the softest parts of you. On one side of your face the hairs grow in a spiral pattern and I always get especially amazed by their quiet announcement that says what a piece of nature you are. The end of your thumb is blunt and your nail ends before your thumb does and that is different to what mine does and I think it’s important to notice the small ways in which we may distinguish ourselves from one another.
