About You

 

it was late november

& probably only 20° out

but i was so hot

& anxious about an early morning at work

that i couldn’t sleep

 

instead

i thought about you

 

i thought about telling you what happened with my ex

& what i had learned from it

& everything i need in a relationship

hoping that you would want to give that to me

 

i was so hot

so i took off my pajama pants

& then my shirt

but even in only underwear

i couldn’t sleep

 

instead

i thought about you

 

i thought about the first time we would sleep in my bed together

not even have sex

just sleep next to each other

& would we both be hot?

& would we both strip to only underwear

& feel our warm skin on one another?

 

i desperately needed to sleep

but i was so hot

& my mind was racing thinking of you

& i decided exactly what i’d text you in the morning about it

because i knew it was time

 

to start giving you my heart

The Sparrow’s Sow

Father feeds the birds gathered in the barn Though never seeing his hand Sparrow is told to thank him But it was her mother who flew into the sky And brought a penny to the nest. It is the same hand Sparrow is told to thank That provides the cat its dinner A repast out […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
