I missed you
i let you glide by
my shoulders
and my heart
like some old fool—
I missed you.

fingers on the keyboard.
eyes blinded by white.
text,

(so much text:
enough to drown me,
to choke me,
to reach my lungs
even though the water rises 
from below below
and i sit on a monolith of salt)

like a kiss off center
i missed you.
