Residence

Living in your body
There is a quality of existence
That exudes confidence

Some of us have it
I use to take it for granite
But I don't feel it in my fellows
I feel instead incongruousness

My existence is my blood
It flows through my veins
My blood is like the red poppies in the field
They do not have to spill every where
Just a little dabble here and there
Coalesce into massive strength
And I am that solidity

I feel you in my heart
I make a decision in my sad eyes
About who you are
Do you have life's force
Are we together in this
Or not
Then I get to my feet or close my eyes
