if you cease
tapping
will my heart
stop beating i can
hear you
at the door, begging
to be let in.
i keep
it locked, act
like no ones home
& you keep
tapping, bloody
knuckles
at the wood grain
your fingers
on strings &
okay, okay
okay, perhaps
i will let you stay
i'm sick of the dust
bored
with the fray
& you
keep tapping, porcelain
fingers
on the countertop
your heel
on the floor
& i
want you
entirely, no more
daylight tapping,
winding
dark cooridor.
i keep steady rhythm
with your
tapping
& wait
for the rain
to stop, for my heart
to open up
& invite
you in.
