I Have Seen You
I have
seen you
travel
in gravelized
time
that point of
intention
from sunshine
to grime
reflecting
undulating
in pools
of yesterday’s
rain
mixed with the
mud
of loss
and gain
sitting on the
sidelines
as you happen
to blur by
the hem of
your dress
burns an image
upon my eye
and I long
to move further
up that hem
to your thigh
wondering if you’d
mind
me occasionally
stopping by
stopping you
stopping time
in the chance
that what was waiting
might be ours
to find
