Gemini

you are weird in a sort of non-weird way

which makes you even weirder to me,

who is weird in a perfectly-weird way


that's why I get confused when it comes to you specifically,

because you are from the fire-wranglers while I'm a water welder, yet you seem to

understand me


sometimes i think you can read my mind 

but I'm not so sure what you see


you already noted many mistakes i made

the gaps in my phrases and this and that


you saw me transform away from myself and that self-assured gaze


but you're still here

and you still talk to me


and i think you've forgiven my mistakes

before i've made them


your eyes, like two seeds from the Bethlehem olive tree

have the fortitude of a soul four thousand years old


and i don't know why but you're here

standing right next to me


and i say who is she?

who, exactly, is she?
