We only have weekends together
because that is the time we believe allowed for us to have sex
to become familiar again
yeah we have during the wee hours, between 8pm and 12am, during the week’s hours
and the minutes we spend talking to each other, through the visceral space of nothing
we could spend that time typing a memo, haunting a bait
so as to secure our membership towards the work force, and wait for something secure
it rents with worry, and the food, we feel guilty eating, the clothing we dream dressing into
when the season changes it’s no inconsequence at all
but, together at last…
You are so good, Cocoyea. That sent a chill of beauty up my spine. It is an exquisite moment beautifully captured in a unique voice. The way poem turns out from the moment to life and then back into it, that moment of connection. That is a fantastically good poem.
Thanks Paul.
