I guess I should keep tempo…
Stick to the outline of the design,
So you can keep track of the story.
This round the plot was a little different.
We were both falling.
I wonder sometimes who would catch us,
And every time he reminds me,
Each other.
Hopefully for me this act won’t be a repeat,
So I guess I’ll just keep the tempo…
Prepare for the crescendo,
Because it’s difficult for people like me,
Who aren’t used to hearing the words
I lov…
At least not hearing them
And they mean something,
Without all the other things
That we didn’t ask for.
Slowly,
I drift deeper into
The soft,
Warm and near space that
You wrap around me
When
I’m just keeping up the tempo…
Moving like I need to
But the rest of that is between you,
Me and my recollection,
Memories of those midday
Summer afternoons,
Where my poetry was new,
And had no
Tempo…
