Reciprocity

Anne Marie Bonneau

You first kissed me under the shade of an umbrella,
Whispering vulnerability.
Gently you traced my scar, knowing I could not survive another crash.
Walking down the street, you turned to tell me you love me.

Whispering vulnerability,
I knew it was over before you knew yourself.
Walking down the street, you turned to tell me you love me
But a broken man boarded his late flight.

I knew it was over before you knew yourself.
The phone hummed a flat key when you said goodbye, hung up.
But a broken man boarded his late flight,
Murmuring susceptibility.

The phone hummed a flat key when you said goodbye, hung up
A gut-socked lightweight. I can not sleep off this sickness.
Murmuring susceptibility,
Dreams of soothing you into sweet slumber trigger this insomnia.

A gut-socked lightweight, I can not sleep off this sickness.
You first kissed me under the shade of an umbrella.
Dreams of soothing you into sweet slumber trigger this insomnia.
Gently you traced my scar, knowing I could not survive another crash.
