Love Poem: We Stopped Here

We Stopped Here

We used to sit here,
right in this very spot
so that he was facing the window.

We discussed night 
without even a thought of darkness
We imagined Bonnie, our ship
my wardrobe, a pet.

Sometimes we would spread ourselves weak
in comfort
and onto fabrics,
and sometimes I was that deep
black-purple tree
larger than the stone buildings. 

How long will this be here
in this spot? I wondered.

Now it hurts to lay like this 
not needing toes and not yet tired.
