I take showers in the dark with that night
Numb with sleep, morning light, I look forward to your hello
as if you could return, could emerge from a shadow
admit one, wait on your turn to be forgotten
as if you could be forgotten. Light pours like water
in a cracked dome i finally can see a way out, pounding away at grout
eroding desire. Wasted pleasure swerving toward the drain
fertilizing roots tucked underneath the hardest surfaces, can you tell me what is pain?
As if you could remember. Is today the day you will remember
tomorrow couldn't come fast enough
tomorrow couldn't flow far enough
history seeps thru sweaty palms, chained into a cycle
of your fingers linking my skin, my lips, my thighs
replaying your hands, your hands undoing the distance required.
