Hiding
This morning
As you
Lay beside me
Looking up
At the ceiling
Muscles contracting
And releasing
Pretending
Not to see
Me there
Next to you
And I
Acting oblivious
To the curve
Of your shoulder
The glow
Of your skin
Breathed slowly
In and out
Caught off-guard
By an ache
Swelling in my heart
I leaned forward
Burying my face
In my knees
Hiding tears
Grabbing hold
Of myself
So tightly
Resisting
The gravity
Pulling me
Towards your lips
Then we stood
And moved on
As if nothing
Had transpired

Good to see you here, Pavanne. Happy holidays.

She was laying there snoring Zzz's loud.
I look to see her drooling on the pillow.
teasing
I snooze
all alone
I took the train via fjords past the Arctic Circle.
The train jugged up and down hills and river creeks.
I loved that beautiful country. You ever visit Oslo?
I bet a dime that you attend the Symphony Opera.
It's great to know you were not slobbering. Oho.
I was traveling alone but sat next to your Mother?
She was beautiful and complained about my Snores.
I was too shy. WE went to Bouda (sp) and had Shrimp.
This is true. We traveled and saw the Midnight Son.
We shopped at a Farmer's Market and staid up too.
We sat at a campfire in the month of June. Honest.
WE never kissed. She saw a black beat and Scrammed!
We talked. Her brother went to Harvard Law School.
Jeannette A. I wonder? She lived in a guarded Apartment.
She lived directly across from Central Park. Not your Mom.
She was traveling alone. She drooled on a train. I snored.
I dream She comes to visit me in just a white bathrobe too.
I think I will join the YMCA and learn to cease and desist?
I'll learn to breath, snore, and find a woman who do Yoga.
Enjoyed this P.
