I Want - I'll Take
I want to be bothered by your touch
That in-my-shoulder-awkwardness where your elbow finds purchase
That crowding-my-side-of-the-bed-pillow, nestled between your knees, infringing on my space
I want to be offended by the trampling words of your insensitive tongue
These annoyances,
tiny shadows on the moonscape of the remov'd-blessid-desolation of us,
away from the blue-planet-pollution, rife with strangers masquerading as lovers and soulmates...shadows in which we find refuge from the commonplace reflection of the neverwas faux brilliance of the everycouple.
I'll take my shadows
I'll cherish your tongue-intrusive or otherwise
I'll find comfort in the closeness of your comfort bringing between-the-knees-pillow
I'll relish the elbow
I'll await any bothersome touch with which you might dare to intrude
and find comfort in knowing that your hand- no matter how angry or kind- will be far more true than those of our would-be-evercouple-peers
