A poem from the archives, one of my favorites. Hope you like it. Trouble getting going today, one of those days. <3 Hope your day is happy, joyous, freeeeeeee. :)
Last night, I got kidnapped.
I
was trapped
inside
a hot
sanctuary.
I
was shifty
in
the church pew –
a
cramped place
I
have never called home.
Last night, I got lucky.
I
discovered
a blank stack
a blank stack
of prayer request paper.
Three
by five,
I
drew you wearing suns.
I’ve
never seen you like this,
but that's the way I always
but that's the way I always
picture you.
I
drew me next to you.
I
was reaching
for your middle.
I
drew a taller me –
wild-haired,
stick
hands nearly touching
the
place where your belt
should be.
My
fingers got lost
between
your loops.
I've never seen me like this,
but
the pencil made me
a lead-grey,
dipping,
V-necked
dress.
Your
mouth
was a line.
My
mouth
was
a circle.
