I am looking at you from the hallway
because I want to be in the room with you
because I want to be breathing with you
soft on each other’s chests
that moist warmth
I don’t imagine
I’ll ever feel again
because I’m a useless fool
writing this poem
when I could be
doing dishes
sorting clothes
trying to figure
out which lever
on the washing machine
lets the sun in
