when he returned
between work and bed
filling the paces of longing
that seek the spaces in my head
when he returned
I gave up and waited
even the breath of the healthy bacteria living in my gut
was bated...
gathered children in my arms
danced with ancients beside the tides
functioned
when he returned
even then
no answers
I am waiting
legs spread
I've washed and fluffed
the pillow for his head
I am not pumping
anxiety isnt sending juices
squeezed between
tense thighs
but everything and anything he brings will fill me with a pleasure unsurpassed
my love
