5 toward the Omer #2

hod shebchesed

I tell him that I’m
worried it would hurt him
to ask him to remain
focused on me while I
write but instead he says
No one’s ever asked me
to connect this way before

he then tells me in
grad school when clients didn’t
show he wrote a poem
called “let me help you
or I’ll smash your brains
to bits” caveating that he’d
write a different poem now

maybe I could call this
“I’m here not ignoring that
you’re not ignoring me even
when it’s like I’m ignoring,
because you know I’m not,
and this is called connection,
the reason we both entered
this doxy.me and this world,
thank you and you’re welcome”
