You Care

I Know you do. I Know you do

        – I see it in your movements

                Here and There

        – I hear it in your words

                I-Love-You  I-Love-You

        – In the home you make us

                Garden-Paint-Cook-Clean-ING

It’s really quite apparent – out there

                                You Care

Here, though, in my guts, in my arms

                It’s not so clear

I feel no E in your motion

I Feel no interest in your questions

I Feel no comfort being me

                With you

                                expecting the worst

                                expecting some else

                                expecting protection                                                 from me

I know what you are: You Care

I don’t feel who you are

        Who You Are

Is that Me

                not feeling?

                                        or You

not touching?
