Here’s What I Want from You

I want you to hear my soul.
I don’t want to have to tell you.
I want you to know.
Just know, dammit.

Don’t make me say it.
Don’t make me sweep it at you with a freaking broom.
I want you to
Look at the air in the room
And see it hanging. Then just inhale me
So you immediately know.
What I am thinking
RIGHT THIS MINUTE, okay?
No questions. Please.
Think. Pause. Maybe it is or maybe it’s not
But I want you to know is that I don’t want you to ask.

Inhale me. Smell me.
It’s.
A.
Small.
Task.
But it’s exactly what,
I want you to know.

Do You Know It Now?

Oh. And. I’ll bet you want me to know you too. Without asking.
