Analysis of So, Us, really
Eugene L. Essex 1981 (Cape Town)
And yet,
Out of All the people I met
You're still my favorite, go-to, the One
Always first, always last, always in-between
Yet, sometimes
We unleash ourselves knowingly opened
Widely exposed and vulnerable
To you, to me, to us and to ourselves
Needing the crave, fed
Intact, secure, safe
Haven , hell, no, haven
Yet. Yet, we are
Solisly and blissfully
Ignorant
Lovely
In-love
