Love On a Wire

In the evenings
I still wait for you on the right side of the bed

Like as single bird
Perched high on a telephone wire

Stark, Scowls of feathers
Ruffled against a charcoal and disappointed sky

I carved a groove
In the way sounds pulse in wet traffic
Vibrating winter pavements

Yet even in my restless heart
I am something close to warm
