A Starfish On Dry Land

"A STARFISH ON DRY LAND"


she’s filled in the empty
space of my bed.
she’s just given me all of 
her pain as she rests her 
head on my chest.
she’s here.
her hair is curled and full
of the love she thought was 
gone.
in a few minutes, I’ll kiss
her goodnight and we’ll be 
one again.
typewriters last and the 
owls fly tonight.
I hear the silence of our 
youth weeping in the chains 
that have been broken.
what took you two so long?
our lips touch.
our hands meet.
our eyes close.
goodnight, my dear, 
goodnight.
