HE KNEW
The wonderful Annie Proulx owns these boys, but they have taken up residence in my heart. I have been tinkering around with a few words based on their THING. As this is my first original entry, I welcome comments - but please be gentle with me!
HE KNEW
He didn't understand this thing between them
He only knew how Jack made him feel
How his body reacted as soon as he saw him
As if, in this world, he was the only thing real.
One look, one whispered, "Hey there",
One smile for him on his beautiful face,
When their lips and bodies collided in frenzy
He knew he was home and in the right place.
He was his friend, his buddy, wasn't he?
When he wrestled and tussled with him on the ground
But in his arms, his heart told a different story,
That in this life, his only true happiness he'd found.
His heart was bursting with things unsaid
When words wouldn't come and he mumbled and stalled
He finally knew, what he'd known all along,
Too late, he knew what this thing was called.
