Come sit with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell me of India, how mist blankets the low land,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and rises in the green at sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blow oxygen into my nostrils<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pinched with academic fervor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uncurl my fingers from their tight grasp,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so, when I lay my pen down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I might pick it up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You whisper, cajole<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romance to come again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
after I\u2019ve cussed her and chased her far into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You bring me to the water\u2019s edge<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and remind me that I am her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I dance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wild, satisfied,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
