- Please Understand That My Motive Wasn’t Clear -
I’ve spent these past days wondering
How long you’ve been hanging upon
My southeastern winds.
How long have you been looking for a stop to
The painful revolutions in your head?
Seek me out in this time of
Blackouts and stakeouts;
I swear I can make it worth your while.
[Please, I understand the hesitation.]

And I’ve spent ages trying to recreate the way
Your fingers used to scribble
Profundities across my back.
And the way the heart-stopping blue of
Your eyes seemed to allow me to
Believe that once,
We were stardust.
And that once,
An angel fell, desperately
Trying to grasp what remained of her sun.
And to feel so desperate
Would be the loneliest feeling.

What things fall?
Once, an angel and
Once, a man…

I’ve spent these past days locked away in the dark,
Suspended by the belief
that you will
return to
me.
