I needed a peek at the world
we had been living in a
balloon for one whole year and
sometimes I wondered if the world
existed outside of us.
see anything interesting?
I shook my head. your smile was
a wide river. It soaked me through.
I taught you everything
you need to know about
women, I said. someday someone
will thank me for it. I was
playing the seductress and flashed
an imaginary cigarette for effect. you
kissed my fingertips but didn’t
say anything and now I wonder if
even then, you knew.
so how’re things with you?
I’ll never ask what I want
to know and you’ll never tell
if all that we had, did mean
anything. but every morning before
I wake up, I feel your heartbeat.
it falls on me light as dawn
and cuts me into strips of I
love you.
