Ripe
Some part of me wants to say
come get me.
I’m ripe, ready,
done enough solitary
for a lifetime,
so ready to turn to someone
comfortable driving the car.
Startling how meteor-fast
my facade of independence
melts away like butter,
surprising even me.
But truth serum would make me confess
I probably value a room of my own
more than any wedding.
