Dearest husband
Beloved husband
Most respected, missed and righteous husband
Dear treasured, absent husband
Dear unimaginable piece of husband
Dear husband of the moon,
it has been six months since I
Dear much lamented distant husband, my champing
heart forgives you
please come.
In a long
undergrowth of wanting I creep
at night the sea is a dark room
I called and called
These white corridors are not
free from longing
Dear postman
Dear night-time, dear
dark mouth hovering over me
Dear knee bones
dear palms, dear faithful
body
I have wants
Husband-
Speech is a dark stain spreading
I have no telephone
No one will give me a telephone
I lost your voice
in dark places
it is written
over and over
that
please come.
A scribble is the way a heartbeat is told
Dearest serrated
husband. My heartscribbles
your name. My mouth
scribbles:
I have cried your name in every
possible colour I have given you my proud
desperate
undeviating wish
over and over and over: Sweetheart, please come
