THE RHYTHM SHE MAKES: SECOND PART

in #poetry7 years ago


If only she could linger a moment longer,
he thought.

But the ineluctability of finality!

He can’t possibly tell her how much he fancies it;
the rasp of her breath;

the adventures of her
hands; their altruism. If only.

It’s ended now. Her eyes are closed.
Peace is in her breath.

The storm is in her soul.
