only a giraffe

there was no elephant in the room this time
only a giraffe
there was nothing to hide, no secret
to keep
only something so tall
it almost hit its head on the ceiling
the love, reeling
god still telling the joke
about how a horse and a cow and the strangeness
of life made it so beautiful
it almost hurt to walk away.
