i am slow
to embrace this word
it feels confining

i don’t trust it

i fear that i
will be swallowed up
in the “u”
and chained
to the “s”

with you
the “u” feels undulating
the “s” safe

i see nothing
in your hands
or heart
to hurt me

i see only the open,
swirling shapes–
nothing crossing
nothing closed

i see possibility
in

us
