Awaiting the Intangible
Rousing rumblings
Craving companionship
Infinite inferno
Perceptible; invisible
Rising from within
As slumber cuts off
Tinnitus fades in
Sheets can't provide
The warmth my blood lost
I sit up
A crink in my neck
Throbbing nape
Pangs in chest, abdomen
Signs of a deeper pain –
I recall
In timeless rest
Unaccountable, intangible
Pretending she was with me
The one
Who is not yet here
