Robbed

Still I wish for you;

The sap rising in the trees

I will not blossom.

-

Yes, it is calmer

without you close, rain clouds scud

across the grey sky.

-

Ripe for seeding, sun

falls on open eyes, legs, heart;

you push into me.

-

You pull out of me,

drive from the hotel; litter swirls

windblown vortices.

-

Your seed trickles out

a wet patch; summer is due,

sunshine flew away.

-

Your words trickle in

Why do I let you? Cut, not

clutch at memories...
