i find myself full of all sorts of questions to ask you
where you went to school
what your middle name is
how you take your coffee
but i’m far too shy
i was educated by the world
a fragrant mixture of myrrh and spices
black as a moonless midnight
what kind of tree are you
what will happen when you die
do you love God above all
i’m dying to ask
a stubby live oak
in heaven for eternity
an emancipated captive of joy
in my shyness all i can give is a response
so won’t you ask something?
