europa

thank you,
but I don't need
a receipt or a picture

just give me more
time -- to think things
through / leave things be

'cause all my toys & ambitions,
are reframed inside your compass
that I've finally unfogged

and I'd trade a car for the world,
wrap it in my arms
like a lonely planet child

and maybe even life with them & theirs
for something new, unused & unknown
to my natural, domestic instinct

because I'm unnaturally, uncannily
drawn to you, europa, so thank you,

but I don't need
a receipt or a picture.
