Actions Love Louder
Cross the hallway to find me
Braid my hair as if it is made of gold
Pile my plate despite my protests
Accompany me wherever I go
Tell me the names of people we could have been
Stand on beds and take a bow
Play games that I played years ago
Wake to ringing of the same bell
Get too dizzy on the balcony swing
Feel the humidity overtake my smell
Sort through piles of net, silk, and chiffon
Know my secrets, my truths, my lies
Treat me as your own forever & always
Learn what to do every time I cry
Ask me for meanings that are otherwise lost
Insist that ties are never stretched too thin
We climbed on the roof with a bag full of fireworks
And set them off as the Adhan called
