Before Morning Comes

Restless
After he’d gone to sleep,
she stared at the blank space
between his shoulder blades,
and she saw swirling galaxies
of thousands of nameless stars
bursting to be discovered.
Sometimes she wished him
a brave explorer, a curious
poet, a hopeless romantic.
Sometimes, deep into the night
when she couldn’t fall asleep
she wished him someone else.

Vulnerable
When I came close
and climbed on top of you;
when I pressed myself deeply
into you, our lips, almost touching…
your face held the same expression
of an infant as he saw the lowering
of a milk bottle. Hunger; excitement;
and also fear, as if the hand that held
the bottle would suddenly disappear.
That was the moment I saw
you, at your most beautiful,
lying beneath me, soft eyes
under the moonlight. A soul
who surrenders himself
to be satiated by another
is so easy and impossible to hurt.
On My Way Home The Rain Stopped
and suddenly, in the familiar colors
of this nightfall, I remembered
your wine-stained lips,
our stolen kiss.
Touch
my hand,
a few inches above your shoulder, a gesture,
a hesitation, a tired bird looking for a nest.
How infinitely close the Earth is to her beloved Sun.
How infinitely far you are to my uncertain touch.

Americas
There are tiny tattoos
on my body
that no one has
discovered yet.
Come over here,
my brave Columbus.
Hug
Some days, the hollow
of my right collarbone misses
the beat of your heart so much.
