i am guzzling
strong coffee
to stay awake;
using laughter
to stay
just slightly
off balance

but
what I really want

what I really really want


is to open my robe
climb onto your lap
slide onto you
and ride you to the moon

He has no real interest in me
but I still want to wrap my legs
around his and ride him
until he's covered in our sweat.
I still want to be there in the morning
when his breath is stark with sleep
and he has crust in the corner
of his dark droopy eyes.
I want to be there to go down on him
when he has a bad day
and to buy him some sugar
when he just needs something sweet

All said and done
words and thoughts
ending up a black plastic bag
amid the scattered pieces
of hope

she sits
leafing through a picture-book
of years and years
of words and prose

Soon the door will unhinge
(at least it looks that way)
(she likes to look at it that way)
and she will walk away~
across the skies
trailing along behind
the invisible quivers.
that once provided
a muddled promise . . .

anyway,
she tries not to go on
mumbling
fumbling
for so long

This is not the time...
