CurtiansA Poem by lee von cleefGiving Back
Now,
The sparse words tighten the grip my mind has on each One. I am scared their meaning will slide between the gaps. I gingerly pull the blanket back, Trying not to disturb the spark still smoldering, Curls of smoke fill my lungs, Your hair light on the pillow, Moonlit curtains silhouette zig zag flashes, Rumbling widow panes, Cold puffs of wind rock the trees limber wooden veins, Chicken skin bubbles over your shoulder, My breath cascading into your hair, My arm cradling your alien ribs, Healed over from his belly boots, but still, The reminder, a loose shirt, the cold blanket, can't hide, can’t warm. Some wind of sleep burrows us together on one pillow, The “lonely” lights deep in someone like you with no shears to cut the baggage. So my lung's live on your barroom smoke, My eyes sleep with “his” stains trapped in your heart, I kiss you goodnight. Now Alone with you. © 2012 lee von cleefFeatured Review
