Across the Acres

she is fleeting,
she is healed and whole,
she is looking for a love
as bright as the cotton candy sky,
she is looking for someone with a soul
as pink as the clouds tonight,
someone to watch the world with
as the sunset fades into midnight.

she is whole,
can be seen
just as she is,
she knows
he is not enough,
but she still wants him.

she is already organizing him
into the parts she will want
and the parts that won't work,
but you cannot have
half a person.

he is looking to be his whole self,
just for him,
he will not be kept,
he will not be categorized,
he will walk the land,
he will stop to stare
at the sky.
