An unfinished poem that was written too soon
I watch their hands as i wait for you
Long fingers, short fingers, broad nails and rounded tips
Blunt
Just like yours
Their eyes, blue and green and brown
Brown but not like yours,
Not like dark honey and rich mahogany
Not like moonshine, sunshine and sin
And empty beer bottles
Sharp cuts, scratches and sterile teeth
Wet tongues
Strong hands
Calloused and warm
Cold as teak
Left in the dark
Left alone
Skin to skin
Pin pricks, goosebumps, dilated
Cognac and amber
And broken beer bottles
