let’s be in love - yes! lesbian love

me and my girlfriend 

can both be cool

there is not a

coolness quota 

we will overwhelm

me and my wife 

can both be hot, of course 

and 'yes please!'

there is a sexiness quota 

and we will overwhelm it

me and my lover

can both be emotionally available

this is not a trick from the universe

she is really that present 

and so am i

me and my baby

are both 

accepting what we cannot change

knowing that there will be a range

of emotions

and that is just a drop 

in the ocean 

of our capacity 

to sit in intimacy

and to shrug off despair

to play with her hair 

to kiss just one 

another

like none of them

are even there

let’s be in love 

yes

lesbian love 

i'll walk 

and you'll take a train 

or a bus

leave the u-haul 

behind

and just know 

i'll find 

you 

mind 

you 

treat you with 

kindness

whatever is 

left of our time
