Decent heart,
improper body.
Old story. In fact
old man story:
spirit too sour,
flesh and blood too sweet.
Thanks tonight to decent bed,
to rest and random touch.
Thanks to light through
blinds laying bars across
bedspread and bodies. Almost
how it was when I was confident;
cozied up almost to arrogance;
almost tight with it,
almost no light between.
Now there’s nothing to keep
us together. Nothing in which
to glory. Nothing to shout out.
Dark Matter
