Days of Plenty
I lay, arms stretched in darkness, noon through the curtain call,
As you made the pinprick acts on me, a tense equality to protect us.
From hurting in the bright world, notions that we could be kissing.
Some days as calico kittens, lost in fogs of harried longing.
Trapeze artists, dancing in each other’s eyesight, backing away from light.
