Across

It's 1:15

you could be asleep

so I don't want to call-

and wake you

 

or maybe you're lying on your side,

restless.

imagining the quiet form of your

other part

while I sit in state

and do the same

 

our fingers waving over

the sides of our separate beds to grasp for

the phantom warmth from a month past-

 

one puzzle piece in the north

another in the City.

there are holes in our existences

that we  can't seem to fill

without both our shadows pressed together

 

I see our future-

the promise of colours,

jokes, clasped hands

and ***** dishes

So full and ready to be picked ripe

off the tree

 

but on the other side of the glass

the window's not yet

primed to be broken

Impatiently you hammer

perturbed, I tap.

 

'Please', I pray.

let them make spider cracks

so I can just

reach you

halt this nonsense,

 

and be with my Love

again.
