other

to you.

unlacing my shoes
and curling my feet
up under my thighs
so i can occupy
the least bit of space
in this silent office,
in the very same way
i can wrap myself
into the tiniest bit
of airless space
that makes up
the possibility
of us, but
i would never ask you
‘true or false’;
i don’t seek
definition, when
there is comfort
in the way that
‘probably’ mitigates
‘never’
