today I love the touch of your hands
yesterday it was the smell of your neck
tomorrow it will be the warmth between your
lips
and this evening that smile
in three days your face will startle me
every day of the week
I am amazed at being alive
Monday the way you walk
Tuesday your hair
and continually I hear the sound of your
voice
the voice of those ghosts
one difficult one clear as sunlight
that life is no longer terrible
as I used to think
Wednesday I shall almost forget everything
and Thursday everything shall return
though how can I forget
the perfume of that rainbow
and the other days
all the other days
I've promised to say
exactly what I feel
as honestly as I can
