every decade i write one piece to shatter through the detritus that gathers in life. beyond an aging body, deep in the archives of our hearts are things that transcend all we are because they were defining moments that turned our path towards a different future. ~birthday present~
I Remember
Oh, yes
I remember
the exact color of your eyes-
I saw it once
flying over the Atlantic
at noon looking down
on the blue gray ocean
I remember –
hard angled jaw
magnet for lips
tracing across
towards your quirked mouth
long curious fingers-
emotional barometers
their constant motion
seeking new experience
your velvet steel
fusing to my spine
creating something else
from what I was
your voices –
the deadliest weapons
in your arsenal –
your day voice-
contagious laughter
like iron bells
ringing on a summer afternoon
rattling my heart cage
but that other voice –
spoken in dimmed light
and darkness
coaxing
instructing
encouraging
demanding-
that voice
was felt
between the legs
causing a listening soul
to crawl towards it
begging
for its life giving water
Oh, yes
I remember
