Stupid in Love

by Devon Webb


I’m so stupid in love

so embarrassingly inexperienced but uh

passionate

& a quick learner!



It’s so stupid the way I’m

so in love I don’t know how to

tell you about being in love

I’m out of my depth



but in my element,

if that makes sense?

I’m out of my depth in my element

I am drowning pleasurably



I am the tarot interpretation

of The Fool

I am standing on the edge of a precipice

in the Summer bliss of a limitless sky



You are at my feet

like a little dog

haha

so cute……… it’s stupid



So stupid!

the way you introduce me as

my uhhhhhh………

& I have to say………. I’m Devon



I’m Devon & I’m

crazy!

& stupid!

in love!



I’m Devon & I’m

yours

despite my predilections & the

depth of the unknown



I’m Devon & I’m

already in the surprise

how I never quite knew everything

how I grow ever inward into you.
