Linger On
A Poem by Matthew Bass
(You) Sublime and calm, pecking and cooing at the unseen side of my brain. A breathless hug pinning my body to the floor asking me to come hard and let go this time; sometimes it´s on the floor sometimes it´s on the bed sometimes it´s in a book of poetry. I hope and dread but secretly wait for you to tickle me with your soft syllables to pull down my arms and massage my lungs until they fall on top of my broken heart. But you do nothing When you finish, you just dance around in the air hanging from a thread with your damascus sword. Blow me kisses on your tip toes and say: "It´s not time for that yet" I almost walked away yesterday, couldn´t quite cross the bridge! Maybe I will today, I hope.
