In my corners

my fingers write you

into my life, so you're not

really gone.


When sleep plays coy, I

draw you out,

eye by eye,

lip by lip, love by love.


I love the way I write you

to actually sit with me

on the bed, so I may touch you with

both of my hands again.


I finally learn for myself that love

may just go on after bodies end,

making it really love,

making it really too late.
