when I take the time to sit with you

when I take the time
to sit with you
with her, with them
long enough
pour me déposé.e

& déposé.e enough
to observe the alignment
or not
of my intents
& my impacts

when I take the time
to sit with you
with her, with them
to listen to
the soubresauts
of our dancing hearts
bridging the spaces
between our bodies

I feel alive
