    REVOLVING DAYS

    From book: Typewriter music

    That year I had nowhere to go, I fell in love — a mistake


    of course, but it lasted and has lasted.
    The old tug at the heart, the grace unasked for, urgencies
    that boom under the pocket of a shirt. What I remember
    is the colour of the shirts. I'd bought them
    as an experiment in ways of seeing myself, hoping to catch
    in a window as I passed what I was to be
    in my new life as lover: one mint green, one
    pink, the third, called Ivy League, tan
    with darker stripes, my first button-down collar.

    We never write. But sometimes, knotting my tie at a mirror, one of those selves I had expected steps into the
    room. In the next room you
    are waiting (we have not yet taken back
    the life we promised to pour into each other's mouths forever and for ever) while I choose between changes
    to surprise you.

    Revolving days. My heart


    in my mouth again, I'm writing this for you, wherever
    you are, whoever is staring into your blue eyes. It is me, I'm still here. No, don't worry, I won't appear out of
    that old time to discomfort you. And no, at this distance, I'm not holding my breath for a reply.
