hesitation

Jack Henry

long day / night
walking empty streets
chase lamplights as they flicker
between verve and immortality

i stray beneath your fame,
moments after my departure
memory fresh / acid etched
to fevered limbs

your words flow
bounce between my bones
i cannot wipe your smile when
i finally close my eyes

strange passage
to where we are
where we stand and lie
side to side

i see you in windows
eyes drive atop eastern skies,
a single gesture pulls me back

stairways carry me toward
breathless arms
you wrap around my skeleton
whisper “i love you”

laugh

because you always laugh
when you are truly
sad
