reading direction labels on bathroom products, standing under the falling water, washing your curls, making rainbows on your chest
twisted, following your shoulder to the end, knowing that there, i will find your hand, everything is on the tip of my tongue
we are learning how not all people show love in the same ways
finding home in summer gardens, trash-filled alleyways, my parents' sky, male dress codes and cover charges, too spicy mustard, cleaning days, the search for radler, jumping onto the sparkly tiles walking home from downtown.
