she said
give them something real
me, I started talking about
how I feel
and my fear
about how tired I was
of carrying that shield
stopping invisible arrows
from piercing
body armours
she reminded me
that the verb was to give
not to tell
and that words or intuitions
are never better
than actions
so
I put down my guard a bit
and started some rounds of free
hugs
do you want one ?
