I Call to You, My Loves
By Katie Lashbrook
My calls to you - my requests - are coded,
in their way, but not dishonest,
I hope. Pushy, too obvious, isn't my aim.
(I'm proud and it would embarrass me to appear too
needy.)
You might not understand what I'm
asking of you. So, here:
just be my friend,
put up with me,
love me,
forgive my transgressions -
all this, if you can.
And, out of love,
I'll do the same for you.
- Katie Lashbrook lives in Lawrence.
