The hours crawl by slowly
agonizing down the lengths
of my needs exposed softly
tucked away beneath strengths
slithering about lowly
all the sticky bits I can’t admit
in the storm gathering force
I get the batteries ready
cells of accumulated resources
that lie stored and untapped
planning for the day
I wanted to hide away
in the apocalypse
with you
on the playground of our views
points are made and lost punctuated
to our ubiquitous truths

Every moment chips into
the pulse of desire growing
sparked in kindling a rush
in the veins of this existence
while I’ve always loathed
the politics of relationship
once I found you
I banished the bane
of other that plagued me
to another plane
driven out hard
by the eclipse
of your voice eliciting just
how much I needed the fix
of falling deeply into this
quiet belonging starkly
made so evident by how sharply
I missed you too.
