the sky and i

by Emily Davidson

the sky and i
had something in common tonight
[we were both crying]

every friend has a time where
they leave a friend for a lover
and every vacated friend has a time to
cry with a rainy night

the rain sang through window panes
from where we were
and there were fingers tracing
spines and
thoughts of lips on faces and
discomfort and
awkward shifting and the
tension was
building, but blending
i swear i could hear your thoughts through your fingertips, but
let's remember that some touches
aren't allowed

this is lovely, the push and pull of the tension, all with the rain streaming outside, just delicious. i love the way the lines break up in that third stanza, heavy with possibilities
