Today you leaned into my arms
wrapped around your vocal chords
I thought of you more than anything
the lack of you wrapped around my head

Does anyone notice?
Does anyone care?
in this bored room of bureaucracy

Tomorrow I learn how to live in my mind’s eye
listen to the skin below
My arm jolts against you
lean back into me

in our split satisfied connection
Could I cry?
Could you come find me?

Yesterday you sat beside me emotional
place acoustics on the fabric you chose
You are waking me, reckless
I’d take your head resting on me in the morning

Should I say?
Should you know?
in sweet sex I’d pull you close

Sometimes I feel like learning how to stay on the split
my back marked by hot heat
We are on two planes
mind and rumble of you in my mouth

it is nothing much in the physical world
Will it be the first time?
Will you worry too much?

Always as close as close as close as close as close as close as as close as close

we could be calmer,
but you are rising in me
