it goes like thisA Poem by sea lily
it goes like this:
i sit, transfixed solo in front of the television. i'm all alone, my sweet boy slumbering in childhood's sleep in the bed we share like we have since his infancy. there is a knock subtle, almost unheard at the door. i take care not to knock my wine glass with bare feet tread softly over. revealed, against the night sky the outline of familiarity. the unexpected and yet yearned for. darker and more filled out. master of the sun my only understood ever loved longed-for one. like when we first met you were healthy then. a thrill shoots from somewhere in my solar plexus breathless and i want to reach out and touch. still forbidden one keeper of my heart my knees buckle. and out it comes all at once tears, sweat, fear hate and all that's passed between. i offer it all to your release. maybe you gently kiss the trace of tears leading down my cheeks. maybe you smooth the hair back from my forehead and bless me there. maybe we don't say a word and just let our bodies speak. this is how it goes when i imagine you coming back to me.
