By Jodie Baeyens
I want our relationship to be
Like that Sunday morning
You sleepily let
Your hands wander
Loose paths upon
My warm skin
Slowly
Exploring
Teasing
Torturing
Each trail
Each mountain
The depths of each valley
With curiosity
No rush to the finish line
Just enjoying
Every single part
Of the journey
Jodie Baeyens is a single-mother, poet and teaches to support her writing habit. When she isn’t trying to find the pen she was just holding, she can be found in the forest dancing beneath the full moon. Originally hailing from New York, she now considers herself a citizen of the world because she has never settled into one place. Her poetry has recently been featured in Door is a Jar and in Peregrine’s Fall Journal. Her forthcoming Chapbook, Conversations We Never Had, was the Winner of the 2022 Vibrant Poet Award.
