your body

foreshortened

below

your shoulders

your face

so close

it's out

of focus

way down

the hallway

comes the sound

of your shoes

that is what i

what i think about

when i think about

you



if we let our love

off of its leash

do you fear, like i fear

how fierce it could be?



your headlights

sweeping

across my

ceiling

the breadth of

my smile now

the depth of

my feeling

way down in my dark life

a shaft of your light

shines through

and that is what i

what i think about

when i think about

you



if we let our love

off of its leash

do you fear, like i fear

how fierce it would be?



o my my
