A Prose Poem (Pt. 2)


I wish I could hold that baby behind me in the grocery store checkout. I wish I could keep the poem you typed up on your typewriter for me that you lost on our first meeting. I wish you could grasp the soft embers that glow beneath my cold cheeks whenever you say "ace". Sometimes if the modd discovers my cowering, I wish you could hold me and whisper.
