My Sweetest Acquaintance

My listening ear happily unfurls from the edges,
and blooms from the stem of the drum that bends toward the light small talk,
accepting the gentle buzzing and strong pollination of your words,
as well as the unofficial acknowledgment that more of us should be.

You are my sweetest acquaintance,
no more, no less,
and I love you for that.
