Ain't No Way by Aretha Franklin

gerber

i hinge my thoughts
together

with hometown clay,
singing

quietly / to myself     while i sleep.

these things grow (in my head),
lullabies

written about you.
you

ring doorbells

in my day, in
the midst of my dreams about  you

/and your legs

behind the door, they don't look
like yours.

i plant my/self firmly

to this (no), thinking
we might

somehow   kiss
behind closed doors, hiding /out

in front of love,
killing it softly.

water. water. it grows.
