Is the title of this poem, but it’s also a true story about being in love
I am in love with you
While one bird feeds another bird right next to me
they throw their shadows into my life
like black sugar
I love to feel this bad because it reminds me of being human
I love this life too
Every day something new happens and I think
so this is the way things are now
I thought that as a stranger put his tongue between my legs
in the first hour of the New Year
and again as I woke
to a field of slow blowing trees
and right now telling you
Friends, I love everything new
even the first days of heartbreak
when everything beautiful is set alight
the glass fur of the cactus
birds on fire with wonder
I have done many things in my life
I have talked to many people
Some of these people have called me very drunk at one in the morning
These people are my best friends
They are like miles of snow to me
When I listen to my voicemail
I can hear one of them saying
Did she just hang up on us
