Places
Time tick-tocks
at a beach where
I loitered among a thousand
heads, winging shadows, tumbling
into hollows
of damp sand, searching;
then, on the stairway where I first
saw you in shaky heartbeats,
although I had met you
a hundred times before; in
the places where you explored
me, caressing in
the nightlong frenzy of
your game; and at
the exit where you
spun away, dancing into
the cobwebs.
