boats

this
i fear
is my last chance
my elbows on the table
and i don't touch you
with my lips or hands
but like a fleet of boats
poised
in one direction
my heart is full of words
and movements
sharply
drawing the bow right back.
i think that urgency
is a beautiful language.
and nobody wants you more.

Another gorgeous poem.

"but like a fleet of boats
poised
in one direction
my heart is full of words
and movements."

I love this.

I'm so glad that you are writing a book. That is a great idea and I can't wait until you publish it. These are just phenomenal.

p.s. I hope your arm is feeling a bit better :)
