give me a reason
by Robert Lee Brewer

give me a reason to run out
& empty myself of this doubt
that always follows me about

give me a reason or a sign
to let me know you will be mine
& that we'll soon be intertwined
like two wet tongues inside one mouth

or clasping fingers of two hands
that hold because they understand
they both have needs & soft demands
that burn within & yearn without
