no i am writing here
and his chat pops up he says
he is waiting for me
i miss his smile
he says he's not drunk
but he most definitely is
most definitely
so he goes on some tangent
i try to follow but really my mind is just focused on
the memory of the corners of his mouth
in the half-moon
the crescent smile
the wry grin
i don't even hear his banter
we'll forget the brief history we had while we're having it
but it will last in us forever when we lay us down
you are
completely loveable and
completely unleaveable
but we still always coax the same bruises between us
we fuel the breath of heat
and it is our breath
i know because i can taste it
and smell it and drool it
and when he said he missed me
my heart bumpbumped a little
and the smile
ate its way onto my mouth like acid
that would have otherwise been to his mouth
but distance and zulu displace us
his ticking orange clock saying
goodnight for tonight
but all will be well
as soon as i start anew
in the a.m.
where he is already
in tomorrow
nice, first "relationship" poem on this site that I've enjoyed. He in Iraq?
