You
by Scarlett Catanzaro
My muse, my star,
our life we share.
Through sips of coffee in
my aged and chipped mug.
In the exchange of words
from my page-filled book.
In the grasp of our chalk
and pencil-stained hands.
We move together like the
crystal waves on a beach,
rolling in unison —
a natural gravitation.
The way your t-shirt clings to me
and imitates your arms.
My muse, my star,
I could not stand without
you.
