sometimes when i am near you
the words become primary
you yawn and i see
y
a
w
n
what a wonderful word - yawn
the hebrew is so sudden: pihuq
as if the jews are too busy rushing to the next thing
to luxuriate in yawning
my thesaurus has no synonyms
for 'yawn'
when i see your nose, i think
'nose'
and then i think
'this is your nose'
this and no other
this is actually
your nose
with your skin
and your cartilage
and your skeletal structure
and your parents' genes
and i think
what a miracle
that this nose exists
and that this is not a representation
but you
go back
