We will always wait for you
arms outstretched
fingers reaching
wanting, hoping
the air pulsating,
throbbing
throbbing
our hearts heavy
Plum, orchid, periwinkle
waiting, dripping, bleeding
Unable to lift the weight of your head
away from your neck
Your chin rests against your heart
steady thrumming
like a kitten
you purr
Humming breath
your pulse racing ahead of your words
Breathe, Breathe,
please, breathe
Flashes of you ...
laughing, smiling,
pleading, crying
We are here now
to keep you safe
our bodies filled with your voice
we will speak...
we will speak...
