Yours
October 20, 2015
Rare,
is it, that you are proud - no,
you are of humble beginnings
and modest endings;
pride is a foreigner to the
xenophobic land of your heart.
Ah,
but you let me in - though
you were still in fear of my
culture, my oddness;
But I did not pass a single marked
boundary. I let you lead the way.
Now,
we are connected, like two rivers - a flow,
carving through a now open country
where I belong;
a former traveler, I have renounced my name
in favor of being called "yours."

Written for my girlfriend. I wrote this a few months back when I was camping.
