Teach Me

Take my hand

And teach me

What it feels like

To experience softness

Against my skin

Teach me

The ways a heart

Can appear

Without bruises

And statements

That cause fear

Teach me how

To hold ambiguity

Like a crystal orb

Something to be admired

And not forsaken

Because answers are

Hard to form

Lead me into

Learning

How to be a man

That can hold

All of these things

Gently
