Come get me
culmination of a three days marinated for months in a night
Come get me belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalI walked in a man
and became a fragile boy
under her gaze
imposing and compassionate
I split my heart
Her hair fell just so
short, sharp rays of ebony
I could feel her breath on me
it was life
she shook my hand
and drew me in
voice of heavy honey
and lilacs
she slid under my covers
and tickled my audacity
days, then weeks
words of water
rose, condensed, fell
then evaporated
I can taste it still
honey
I can taste you
you flicker in fluttering
at the edges of
conversation
a subject
a past participle
both adjective and noun
beautiful dream
then a transparent
promise of you
forgotten till the drive over
your voice sweetly sighing
midnight glasses
tilted toward the moon
hips rocking
make me swoon
boots of sex
tasseled and striking
call out to the night
and me
the metallic swan
our maitre d’
we point, arms grace
the gaze of god
and I can not be without you
we are so close
we are not close enough
break apart for music
within the crowd
peering at
the tallest man on earth
our arms touch
again, and I look for you
in your living room again
for the first time
wrapped in smoke
and arms and the future
you push me out
for fear of me inside
you know I am already there
dense digital letters are sent
within an as yet unknown intent
or maybe we know
yeah, we know
I say goodnight to the moon
and await the sun
after I ask
come get me
and know you won’t
not now
