Poetry
BREATHE YOU IN by Tanisha Carter

I did not invite you
I absorbed you
your energy
your aura
your language
actions
reflections, we became
like a game
of Simon says
yet neither of us are saying
as natural as blinking
i breathe you in
and we are each other’s
like night belongs to day
one never existing without the other
we are two in the same
one
i breathe you in
