a_simple_request_from_a_simple_man
Cicero he has never been to our home
spoken words with your own
mother father sister
sat on your carpet
seen the little girl you used to be
eaten ice cream in your car
on so many california evenings
driven you to the beach
and not forgotten the cheez-its
he doesn't know how you take your coffee
(very sweet)
or kissed you when it mattered
he has not craved you
or been craved by you
he would not cross the earth
on his knees
to kiss your hands once more
nor has he opened his eyes to find you sleeping
smiling a little
and wondered at the curves of your lips

she has not felt these hands
molding her body
in our own brand of love-madess
or smiled at me with her gifts from Greece
or sat with me on my street
feeling very close to something
that cannot be named
or yearned for me over 9000 miles
or closed her eyes to hear my voice
sing my love just for her
nor has she felt
the screaming passions I reckon with
most screaming for her
she has not even rung my doorbell
or sat on my lawn
eaten dinner with my
brother sister father mother
or pulled my camera to her
with her slender gravity
she does not need me
he does not need you
you do not need him
give back yourself to you
when you do
you will find me again
please
don't let your mind hold
captive your heart
have faith in us
I promise you will not regret this
such is my faith
