For my thesis

 

When each word is an old friend

And the weight of you lies heavy in my hands

When each page is dark with edits

And stained with a catalogue of food

I ate while pouring over you

When your page numbers count heartbeats in time with my own

When I close my eyes and see lines of you printed across my eyelids

When I look down at you and say

Now you are complete.

Now you are whole
