terms

 

today I think,
I’d really like to go to Six Flags, or
back-float under a painfully blue sky, or

this afternoon
I’d love to meet you
coming in from the rain-dark kitchen,
waking from a nap, the last chapter of a
not-so-good book, the sound of the neighbours
arguing,

to feel that final movement, the pain
of coming together,
                     a train rushing nearer,
tracks
humming
