all the names

i have a hard time naming things: anxiety, fear, sadness.  rest.less.ness

none of them are quite right.  none of them explain the why and the where.  none of the words i can think of describe the me i am being.

when i can't sleep it is a fire in my veins.  a loud buzz in my head.  the din of too many voices, too many songs, too many croutons in my soup.  i think of you.  i think of your arms and my arms.  the warmth of your leg over my leg.  the way we fit, so perfectly.  the way i try to empty my cave, calm the echoes.  the way i want you to do it for me.  show me how again?  the way i don't want to wake you up with my storm.


you are watching me and naming things for us:  kaylee.  water.  tomatoes and sauce.  heartbeat.  footsteps.

together.
