resolutions

i want to be in love.
with books that steal my words
and leave me still.
with music that pierce my skin
and shakes my bones.
i want to be in love with dust that dance
along the sun's rays in the afternoon,
the lonely cars that rumble
by my window at night.
i want to be in love with food
that fills my soul,
faces that grow smiles in my chest.
and places that stain my wandering eyes.
i want to be in love.
i want to be in love.
i want to be in love - with life,
myself and everything.
everything. everything. everything.
