1 Poem by Jake Kemman

Definitions

   Hover

   In
 the subliminal

Tell
 us what to call our food

   What
 the time of day

  Says
 to the angle of leafy shadows

  Stretching
 gently across

  Our
 faces

     Composed

     Like
 sunlit notes



Hold
 me. Please.

While
 the clouds of definition dictate what

I
 fear.



Thank
 you for holding me.

Your
 hands make it okay.
