"The Fragile"
Watching the skeletons
as they crawl out
of the closet
as broken bones
seethe in quiet disgust
Silence pervades
the subtle spaces
between you and I
begin to fade
as the distance grows
I will wait for you
my dearest one
amid the larks
that fly overhead
Walking alone
to the pond
I cast a pebble
and watch it skip along
the clear water
As I close my eyes
I wish for you
and, in that fleeting moment,
our embrace lingers
as you kiss
my aching mouth.
