resolution? by Angela Thomas it's a year to remember, 2008 is. there are new friends and darker bars. and ladies night at my place, full of candles and pretzels and teaching my friends the pot etiquette. swimsuits in summer are these scarves to my neck, the boots on my feet. i want to curl up on the couch with you, but the godzilla movie will have to suffice. a short chasm between your hands and mine, next to each other and shoulders barely touching. you grab your jacket and then think better of it. i want to bury my face in your neck and next to your hair. it would please me to tangle hands in soft locks. these are things that i wish for with the first snow. and we stand by the subway staring. me up at you, and you over your glasses at me. i know this look. this wanting to kiss, but the smell of roasting nuts, and there are so many other people around. i write, and it's not a sonnet. it's somehow longer and i linger on the words like they're honey on the back of the spoon. i linger by the subway and then you reach over and kiss my cheek. i walk away and resist the urge to turn around. 01/11/2009 Posted on 01/11/2009 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Nanette Bellman on 01/12/09 at 01:28 AM I'm a sucker for pieces like this, bringing out the inner turmoil. I've been there and done that. You did it beautifully.
