A Different Tone
I have known many bodies but
right now I only know yours:
adorned in lace, with or without ribbons
or without any adornment at all.
It’s safe: what we do, sticking with you,
loving you or just loving myself just enough
to let you love me being
together,
feeling that connection –
not concocted.
The
adoration I might show you in the
morning
may by evening take on a
different
tone.
Late
in the day
I
am more or less worn out
fears
collect
hiding
in corners before sleep
preventing it.
But maybe midday heat returning will chase
away the strangeness that keeps us apart and
also keeps us together.
Finally I yawn. I
say that’s good let sleep
come.
Let you
come or go,
I’ll be
here when I wake up.
