Confession About My Attraction(s)

Zaki Mlaba 2020-01-28 2020-01-28

Being with.
Being without.

The con of it all.
The comfort of it all.
The cage of it all.

The lives and loves that exist between them are not here to be understood;
Just respected.

I started to learn how to stretch
The spaces in me
To find softness
In my misery.

Seeing love as a life
That doesn’t want to be handled.
It just wants to be held.
Hopelessly and hopefully.
