Knowing you're a room away
the hinged hole in my wall tempts me
To curl-backed night wandering, to brush my face alongside yours
I know the paths your hair makes
in tentative trails across your chest
to the outposts of your *******
I know your clever hands
i dreamt of them in detail, of holding your hands in mine
examining them
I know those soft lips
I know how they feel against mine
I know what they are capable of
It's been nearly 9 months since the time when i knew these things
Time enough to incubate a life
Time enough to hold love the way i cupped your dream hands
Time enough to write 25 poems about you
Time enough to shade my dazzled eyes
Time enough to know to leave that door closed.
