—YOU HAVE THE ONLY THING GOING THAT’S WORTH WAITING FOR

a.m. rainbow

in the frail morning
you show me clemency
turning to my side
with a poignant kiss
dawn pressing against
the shaded panes
you pressed against me
us tattooed together
warm as mauritius
your uneven eyes
sleepy yet alert
taking me in like a
detective that needs
more information
and just like that
i’m yours again
every old bit of me
still yearning
and churning
me sucking down air
realizing how you’ve
changed the  
echo chamber
of my heart
indigo running coral
coral to chartreuse
periwinkle fronting
our very own
a.m. rainbow
gleaming above
the headboard
when i realize
the only reason
worth moving is
to get another / better
glimpse / taste
of you / u
and soon i’m
curling a strand
of your hair
around my finger
like a ring of
joy / hope
grinning inside
so hard it hurts
handing you
that pot of gold
that everything
i have in me
