staring

i still address

the past

like an old friend

who does not remember me

and the bits of i

i left dressed

in them

and the stillness

we shared

once we moved apart

*

he needs love

(i am him)

(i am need)

(i am love)

*

all you need

is

needing all of you

*

what is to be

asked

is not what is

but what is to be

*

do not

wait for

someone to note

your vigilant waiting

but do not

even when

they will eventually

tell you that is enough

for it is for them

but not enough doing

for you
