pencils standing scattered
in a metal cup
placed in no orderly fashion
light the fuses and stand back
hear the hiss and pop
watch the spark travel
slow and sinuous
dancing across the pavement
tick tick
hiss
flash
boom
on patrol on the edge of the desert
soldiers watch
waiting and wondering
praying and hoping
longing for words from home
words of support
and love
and kindness
just one more minute
let me hold you a while longer
don't slip from my grasp
don't move away
I can't bear to be separated
just one more minute, please
I don't want to leave this dream
there mirror of my mind
is broken
like me
it has fractures where
there should be complete
memories
disjointed thoughts
consume my attempts
to look to the past
and make sense
of a life not well lived
there are faces
visions of souls
persons unimagined
and yet somehow, they're known
treasured to my heart
clasped to my breast
like so many thorny roses
and sweet-smelling lilies
being away from you is exquisite
agony
being with you is oppressive
delight
I think anything else would be
like the center of a peach
the pits
I'm not too keen
on the words I have to say
but they must be expressed
sooner rather than later
else this pain will
keep on
my legs are like jelly
when I stand from the bed
reaching for the robe
my head spinning
I stumble and giggle
and reach out to steady myself
emptying her pockets
she comes across a single earring
the mate lost
long forgotten
alone
she stares, contemplating
and puts it back
