The warmth of your fingers
Caressing my shaking shoulders,
The comforting weight of your arm
Resting around my waist.
Until you closed that door.
Rotted wood and a flimsy frame
The rusted golden knob sneers at me
Daring me to open it.
But I won’t.
I claw at the cracked pine,
Burying my nails into the decaying wood,
Shredding the once white paint.
Wishing it were you.
A dark night, no stars, no moon,
light rain
the rumble of distant thunder
a gunshot, close
the sound of feet, running
loud voices, screaming
a car door slamming shut
tires skidding
another gunshot
a pause,
footsteps on the porch
doorknob turning
a rattle of the door
deadbolt holding
police siren, closing fast
footsteps moving
and then it stopped
distant thunder, light rain
no stars, no moon
6/2/17
Let’s put the painting
there
no
there
next to that one
yeah
yeah
Socks paired
his rolled tight
hers flat.
Where to eat
Here
No
let’s try that place
the one we keep saying
Sure
perfect
Leg over leg
warmth
we listen to the other breathing
Late
one checks the deadbolt
on the front door
careful not to step
on the sleeping cat
It entered the heart, this misty ball of light.
Then found its way around the moat,
darkened metal deadbolt.
It tickled and teased (quite pleasing).
It had pristine sensitivity-sensuality
but it was never meant to be.
Deflected to the silver path,
it settled in forever's forever,
Deep into the heart of a grand giver...
Something it needed and deserved).
I hope it can live in peace
if only for a short while///
before death primes the walls of its
tomb.
Black and white rainbow with tornado eyes
spinning spotting hard on a lightning bolt;
Such electricity in a slow dance;
Rhythm picks up with the darkening skies
lingering on finger tip’s gentle jolt;
Detonation of pomp and circumstance
but really it’s merely a soft whisper;
Beginning with a lock of the deadbolt
you rendered me immobile with a chance
to feel our heart’s race watching the thunder
advance.
