I want to love you, self
ferociously alive like clovers do
green and plentiful in front lawns
and through sidewalk cracks-
I've watched you laugh
hurt bad too-
Get wind from hot air balloons
disguised as colored, rainbows too
spread across whipped backs
and broken oversized shoes-you
we've made it
you and I-
self I'm falling in love with you.
