I ask the children
when they are feeling
feelings that don't fit in their little bodies
"Do you need a hug?"
Maybe...
Maybe I need someone to squeeze this infection out of me,
this tension softly rubbed from my back,
this hole in my chest pressed closed...
Maybe I need this broken body embraced
by someone who cares about the peices falling away
As silly as it may sound...
I think I need a hug
