(Un)Invited

Amy

The gentle rain hitting the roof

Reminds her of

Gentle hands

cupping

her face

As if it were

a fragile bird

Lips tentative

Barely touching

Become more

Deliberate

(she needs a moment to)

Poem inspired by one of my favorite songs, and certainly my favorite song by Alanis Morissette (official video below the lyrics):

Uninvited

by Alanis Morissette

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd need shepherd
But you you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don’t think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

I love words. And animals. Photography and fedoras. Welcome. And stay awhile.
