Please don’t leave
A month,
minus a day or two -
and I will be back.
The weekend,
like old-times,
catching your eye
as I walk past.
I’ll pop by,
if I may,
and get
another flat white.
It’s a date.
To be kept.
I hope you’ll be there.
To take that second cufflink.
To exchange one more -
but without butts.
Just lips,
open freely.
I ache for you.
Completely.
