I have decided to keep my writing for myself. Maybe one day we will meet over tea, and the subject of poetry will surface, and after much persuasion, I will show you my latest work. Or maybe you'll find a volume with my name on it some where in the future. Until that day, adieu.
I want you To wrap your arms Around my waist From behind And rest your cheek Against my hair. I feel your breath Grace the tip of My ear As you whisper, “Baby, it’s alright. I’m right here.”
