Derivative

teach me how to take

derivative of you

so I can keep

my breath steady

when chores became pleasure

sweat became lubricant

my mind transformed

so did yours


in the interval of an impossible domain

I failed to find the value

justifying my desires

thus I picture

pictures of you

refined and over again

between traffic lights and my watch

in the bitterness of my morning espresso

Emma, this is good. You need to write more poetry. Much more. The best part for me is between "thus" & "espresso". It works like a montage.
