Unbroken smooth between before after
bruises bashes and shatters
Beyond humid shocking kisses rather
a cool lasting that matters.
You are the one safe place I know.
Fingertip gravity cheeks to lips
Returning coming going and home
Never leaving steadfast praying grips
the exploding expanse of a poem.
You are what I will never give up.
Arlington to Golgotha, offices to factories
Shoulder in, eyes forward, chin up
Quiet unspoken shared stories
lingering lost ring of a coffee cup.
You are my favorite ghost.
