hold space for me please

holding space for this apartment
holding space for the motherfucking skylight
holding space for the girl who visited today, newly highlighted hair and her well articulated wits,
holding space for ann,

holding space for dan and his bracelets,
lots of space in his and her apartment
lots of food in caitlyn’s kitchen
feeding people I hold space for

holding space for all these people
Nathan josh colleen asil
silly me for ever leaving
leave their mark on me they will

holding space for half assed rhyming
holding space for whole assed timing
holding space for 4D screenings
holding space for future meetings

holding space to come back another time
leaving the calendar open
holding space for future projects
holding space for something completely different that I don’t know yet

holding space for cuddly couches
holding space for hugs in subways
holding space for rooftop coffees
holding space for slutty costumes
holding space for body bag cocktails
holding space for k-town karaoke
holding space for the steps in front of bossa
holding space for the C train if it chooses to show

I’ll hold
I’ll stay on the call
I’ll wait for something to show
I’ll make space and keep it, hold it tight, hold the space so life stays open,
hold them in my heart in the meantime

if they’ll hold a space on a couch in bed-stuy
if they’ll hold my index finger when i say goodbye
(and probably cry)

a C train will show up one night
and I’ll be back to hold them tight

until then,
hold space for me please
