Keep holding me
like no one has ever tried to do
before, while we settle
our togetherness into the gentle
embrace of our mutual limitations

If it pleases you to stay long enough
to know me well past this sunrise,
please do. I ask nothing better
than for the chance to love myself
a little kinder than I ever did
before you came, for you to teach me
a newer language in the distended
bareness of your throat, couched
in the trusting voicelessness of
honest warmth

When the sun starts peeling off
the shadows between the blinds,
I'll let you make up your mind then,
for both of us,
if this is all worth keeping...

Like every de javu fullness
of a sudden revelation,
when one precise combination of angle
and sight brings forth all the special worth
of a long-forgotten joy, or the poignancy
of an elusive grief, now remembered,
twice magnified; as if we've lived,
tasted, understood halfway like this before,
in another life...

I'll let you tell me then
if together
we might reach high enough
to touch the beauty of a single star

And if you can tell me
all these...and soon...
please
do
