coming to feed the fish I turn the key and we are there on the couch watching a movie TV light flickering on our faces you play with your wine glass swirling dark mesmerizing circles divining our souls in reflections of gold and amber
veins and tendons shift under your skin as you caress the glass I draw your hands with my eyes fine long beautiful hands passionate and kind here's where the wine splashed down onto leather like a wavelet cresting breaking on a beach (oh god oh god is it always going to be like this)
I move to your bedroom to the matress slightly hollowed like grass where deer bed down I dream the pattern of the pillow cases
I lie down where we loved and fell asleep just like this, my hand afloat on waves of your breathing my leg clinging to yours as to a life raft my hair like seaweed drifting over your arm you held me and your hands soothed me as though I'd just been born.
I hug your pillow to me curl up to and sleep in you your voice tumbles over me like the ocean later I wake with your hand running through my hair pulling me close, kissing me so real I drown in you
and now I must get ready to go be unreal again --sorry we dont have any leads-- --just no place to start-- --the case has been turned over to-- --wish there was better news-- it's dark, I move to go
your walls hold the world upright keep nothingness from rushing in you're here, always right here I'll turn the key and you'll meet me at the door knowing everything and you'll pull me into your arms into the slow liquid embrace of your mouth and let me drift in your eyes the next time and every time I come to feed the fish
