When Love Was a Gesture
autumn tears...
falling for you
all over again
we’re just friends
in the
present tense
making amends
like cracks filled
with silence
tears of yesterday
still
water my lawn
i’ve been banking on a love
that never matured
just an emotion
on loan
tell me—
do you rest your hand
under your chin
like I did
when you’re alone?
sharp edges
on my mind
but it feels
pointless to forget you
to accept you
is to accept
not having you at all
the drink of your love
I could never finish—
you were
too tall
too much
too deep
too far
you poured yourself
out for me
and I drank
greedy
we kissed
like language
like memory
and I felt the shiver
escape your pores
so why
can’t I
escape your love?
