For hours we lie
In a cramped room
Unwrapping
Each others secrets
Thoughts made senseless
By a fevered delivery
Endless in the pursuit
Of truth
*
You picked up
Your mask
With your coat
Hung it casually
Like a half moon
Over your darkened face
And closed the door
I knew that I would
Never see you again
Not the you
Whose hands I’d held
Against
My naked heart
*
I drank the wine
That you left
Turned the sheets down
And read for hours
The words muted
By your abiding presence
I fell asleep
Wrestling the sun,
For your
Unabridged memory
*
I have seen
Your face
In the promise
Of strangers
And sometimes
In passing.
You wear apology
Greetings eclipsed
By anxiety
Smiles diffuse
The distance between us
Extending for miles
*
I long for
Confined spaces
For words burdened
With emergency
For eyes
Burning beneath
Lowered lashes
