A Question or a Command

 

Would you tip your hat to me?
Do you love?
I have been meaning to ask you-
Be my elephant king?
Be my predecessor?
Be my anything

What I meant was-
Be my anything

 

Would you raise your palms to me?

Do you hear me breathing?

I’ll be your makeshift bride-

The lack of space between the lines

In your face, in your eyes          

 

What I meant was-

Be my anything
