in love with you that
all my secret pockets
have been turned inside out
revealing old pennies
flattened by rusty trains
cat's eye marbles
miniature gold shoes
that my dentist gave me
when I was seven
one small moon ball
that bounces very high
and glows green
when you look at it
in the dark along with
the thing that now keeps
me safe so I wear it
to remind me just how
love feels disguised
as a thin brown cord
tucked beneath my shirt.
