The Visit

Her nitrile gloves started
The exploration with
No hesitation
Expertly opening up
teaching, showing with
An accomplice like smile
reassuring, endearing
I wanted it to last a while
It is a new found alliance
Born from deep cuts
and amazing science
My universe is lit like fire
I am a child again
Waiting for the rewire
finger drawing pathways
to connect the stars I see
into familiar shapes
Poking and probing
I know what It takes
I feel a sharp but beautiful pain
Like if Abel had killed Cain
It's a rewrite long sought
So valiantly hard fought
By others before me
They did it no matter the cost
To show me how to love
Myself the most
