Like Crazy

I thought         I understood it

That I could grasp it. But I didn’t,
not really.

The pink slippered, all containered, semi-precious eagerness of it.  

I didn’t realize that it would sometimes be more than whole, 
that the wholeness was rather a luxurious idea because

it’s the halves that halve you in half. 

I didn’t know,                          don’t know

about the in between bits - 
the gory bits of you 
and the gory bits of me
