This is how the body loves you
starts missing you from the moment I pull away
from your embrace, by the time I turn and walk away,
a choking sensation arises in my throat,
by the time you reach the gate, my body feels
a slight shiver, that uncontrollable, irreplaceable
longing for the familiar, beloved presence.
There are nights when I lay tossing and turning
not to have your slumbering body beside me,
not to have my arms around you, snug in your warmth.
It is even more so on days when I see so much of you
and so much never seems good enough for my heart
or grieving body, the immense sadness that takes
a physical form in this way when you are not with me.
