Frivolities of life,
|
||||
whispers in the other room
|
||||
about sins uncommitted,
|
||||
sins unforgiven,
|
||||
repentance yet to come.
|
||||
|
||||
The horizon has long since swallowed the sun,
|
||||
but the heat's golden glow
|
||||
remains
|
||||
on my skin,
|
||||
harsh cabin lights
|
||||
a doctor with an x-ray
|
||||
trying to peer within.
|
||||
|
||||
I want to drill into their gaze
|
||||
and tell them vivisection is unnecessary.
|
||||
My heart has been dysfunctional
|
||||
since birth, arrhythmia,
|
||||
a machine missing a gear.
|
||||
|
||||
I need you near
|
||||
my body
|
||||
like the ocean needs the moon.
|
||||
I wish not to subsume
|
||||
myself into you, but to admit
|
||||
that, when the nights
|
||||
grow long
|
||||
and I find myself wishing for perfect
|
||||
dark, I hold on
|
||||
to the memory of your touch
|
||||
like the desert recalls the rain
|
||||
and wishes it, wherever it is, well.
|
||||
I do not need you to complete
|
||||
me. But you give me the strength
|
||||
to complete myself, to hold on,
|
||||
like I promised, until the showers of May.
