Transitory

by Anita Mac

My shoulders are
cold from disuse,
but all the more appealing.
I was headed this way
long before you reappeared.
I’ve just been waiting.
Holding it all in
and waiting
for you to show up with your
   kind smile, and
   open heart, and
   strong arms
that now for some reason
keep me at their length.

So predictably unfair is
the passing of time
and
our timing.

you always use just enough words to be seriously moving. just perfect. it's good to see you writing (and posting) again. :)

ˈtransətôrē YO! There is a subtle wisdom here making me ask myself: what if one pining got one's desires? timing as useful as the sun when sleeping, or is loving always the idea of disuse disguised as feigning...thanks for your subtly.
