aching
“What's the Czech for ‘Do you love him’?” Guy, Once
i used to make you smile and laugh
aching for and with
as you, me
the attraction marrow-deep
pulling as if gravity
or god were a puppeteer—
(in the pictures you sent
you and yours are smiling
as i, looking at them)
do people carry tambourines
rattling the rhythms of song
as if a movie or music video?
because there are songs that pull
at me like you
my head rocking
the music and lyrics
stronger than the physics of planets
or deities with string
and it your song always
vibrating through me
as water or oxygen
tap dancing marionettes us
