HIDDEN.




HIDDEN.
6/14/10


Patterns of shadows,
Painted on your face:
All shades of beautiful
Against the mystery you are.
Closed eyes and lips of stitches
Far beyond my reach.
Where are you, in here?

Warm:
The scent of summer
Stuck in my lungs
Wrapped in my hair,
Like your fingers
In the quiet.
Where are you, in there?

Automatic,
Like the race of hearts,
I slide into vacancy
Each night I give you up.
Watching for little rabbits,
Counting the silences
And the poetry of candlelight.
Where are you?
