one day i woke up and checked my emails

the message was sprawled out line by line

separated by huge gaps
not gasp
but i did anyways

a suitor was taking a pilgrimage

to my home from his
by foot

an 8 hour journey
in the name of love




we exchanged flowers when he arrived
and ate cheese
awkwardly at the kitchen table


when i opened the door to him
his eyes were glowing

he had spent his day with the water and open sky

thank you
for coming for me

I am still trying to accept this extraordinary gesture
