So sorry about missing your text message;
I was driving-late, onthephone-inameeting
but only not wanting to press the numbers
to make half-words -- not wanting to contain
everything I want to say to you into these
packets of consonants with no vowels
zinging through the air, our buildings, our bodies.
Not wanting to place everything I want to say
to you into short responses because I can't,
won't, shouldn't -- but maybe that is how we want
to speak -- without any anchoring emotion
or any explicated concept of what the future
holds between us though we've only known each other
a short while. Sometimes a body knows what the mind
cannot communicate -- that your nice and all
but I don't think there is anything more
there between us but these words that fall
fall short of saying what both of us need to hear.
