Small Note Found in Jacket Pocket (P)

You know me
You must remember
Half-hearted questions
To half-stammered answers
Trembling eyelash and twitching mouth
Causing earthquakes and tidal waves
Down further south
While your teflon glances
Left me conveniently incontinent

You must remember
An arm sliding softly
And skilfully towards you
As I kept my gaze balanced
In the space in between you
And your other reflected
In the glass that would hold you

Remember when
Your face
Pressed against this cradle
Slumped on the edge of sleep
As close as you were able:
Spirals unnumbered
Overlaid the fields
Luminous in my wake
On a day that would break
If I loved it too long

In luscious pain I
Asked water and sky
To give you to me
Then I left and…
You don’t remember?
