we tangle ourselves in a web of emotion
only to unwrap our souls in the end
can these connections we create bind us or can they be unfastened easily?
i find each person leaves their mark on my soul
affecting my actions and entering my thoughts
growing now more numerous with the days
stamping their breaths and words onto my memory
remembering their scent in the grocery store or the way they laugh before the punchline
cycling madly toward home backpacks filled with fruit and soy cream
dancing wildly after midnight
beer in hand
lips stretched out to smile
each person a branch extending from my trunk
down they reach toward the life force below
adding another sustaining vessel to my soul
