I want someone

to have a revelation 

about me.

An epiphany! 

Like in the movies

when they pause, 

dramatically. 

I want someone 

to realize something 

they didn’t know.

No!

That they always knew.

Yes. 

It will grow like a tingle 

rattling the cage

around their heart

Shattering their mind

into parts.

It will be 

contradictory. 

Such a shock, but —

they always knew.

Never had they pictured me

in a light 

other than a blue.

Instead 

now a red. 

A burgundy that flows 

through 

their heart and mine,

too!

Maybe they’ll shout:

“It’s you! It’s you!

Oh!—

How it’s always been you,

if only I knew!”
