For Claire (v. 01)

There is something
we are wanting

with passing time
the only hope

we have

a faint optimistic gleam
in the tarnishing distance

more positive than negative
in the worn album of memories

a blurred smile
on a face you won't forget

the boy runs away
out of your arms

into your arms

in a dream that ends
as jarringly as I love you

lay in bed smoldering
touching in ways we don't

often wanting nothing
beyond intimacy

this shared darkness
our wholeness

unequaled

less than this
unequivocal, incomplete

in each attempt
the pang of invisible effort

failure seeming inevitable
glinting beauty fading

still
