She saw you naked when you were fully clothed. Your eyes and lips gave her everything.
Unpacking boxes I found your mortar and trowel hidden underneath my pajama pants. You bought them for me last winter. Don't you remember? Or are you too busy building walls?
She sees you each day that my eyes are hidden from you. Woos you with her smile and wrinkly eyes.
Your emotions are a tree swaying in the wind. You give yourself to her words as you gave yourself to mine. Your leaves flutter. Your fruit ripens. You reach for the sun. Desire. Desire.
My world is a cloud. The graying flood of rain pools my love into muddy puddles of wretch and want. I choke on my tears to stay alive.
Keep breathing.
desire. desire.
Keep breathing.
Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
