vagabond

you sat there next to me
in quiet
and shouted against
everything

you pulled words out
of me with a heavy rope
they tapped on roofs
and sloshed though gutters
in the background

roll your shoulders
back and feel the distance
between steps
it’s forever and gone

you stand in all spots at once
behind your eyes and everywhere else
you travel worlds to reach anyone and
you are who you say you are

eat the bitter minutes
shape-shift with me
