[congo--jack]

today you stood,

rich and complete

as ever, in the doorway of my work

the same day

your song played

because coincidence swirls ‘round us

& fate begs our

stubborn walls

to fall

[congo--jack]

My instant observance

that you’d be

one of the worst ones

Everything I need

all right at once

simultaneously

living amongst

my fears

hardened, sunken

for years, but

you never

dropped close to brush

your persistent perfection

my only crutch

[congo--jack]

The dizzying insignificance dealt by a inky night dotted with lonely stars accompanies you when your eyes tap the door of my soul

[congo--jack]

I bear no thought bereft of the burden that is your beautiful existence

[congo--jack]

I found myself there wondering if you ever had a poem written for you, & I decided I didn’t like not being sure

[congo--jack]

I am lonely in any room that does not contain you

[congo--jack]

I will never truly be clean of my weariness until you dust me from head to toe with your dark golden hair & rip me apart with your radiant gaze Legendary wars fought for women’s favor finally make sense when I am laid bare before you

[congo--jack]

I lay here, terrified you’ll turn my nightmares to dreams
