Detailed Privacy

writing sideways on feathered lines
much more than you will hear
if it's no now
it was never yes
now
come find me, I am not hiding
I am picnic pretty, prepared
for olive salads and mayonnaise stains
dappled and depleted sundress yellow
this is not the color
of next time
go into the public space
so that I may steal you away
they are embarrassing
high-waters & flood laughs
I am your detailed privacy
the walls of your breath
which echo alone, alone
safely alone,
come find me there.
