Poem After Proposing
for Gina Mercedes Lowe

what could we between us make

could I make you into
you make me into

together you or I I feel
can change the world
the composition of the universe

do we dare, should we try

I think transformation
has already commenced occurring

the universe already
is beginning to recompose
to reconfigure itself about us

what is it about us

now I know you will run and hide
