Again
He came to my home today in all his glory to be remembered
How is it I’m seduced with the rapture of speech?
I tasted honesty as I tried to protect confidences.
Not wanting to gossip yet tell the truth of why
Did I know why your secretary had left? Did I like her; I was glib.
Yet his question returned and I like you gave part truth
Saying it was your Group which protects all explanations.
Remembering our last visit the poem begins
How is it you seduced me once again with a rapture that paralyzes?
Unbuttoning my sleeve, words and muse, poetics return.
My mind stops I feel my leg between yours, I pull away.
Jumping in a silly girlhood giggle and then I grab you
My chest pulling toward yours, once again the giggle
Prime time slips away without a space to fill
A girlhood pull, she takes your coat, I’m in yesterday
In my mind you run away, while I remember my sleeve unbuttoned
I am frozen till I am healed and my breath exhales.
My release has no cost to my hearts song or bodies verse.
