Poetry of Issue 9: A Woman Waits Up For Me

A Woman Waits Up For Me

A woman waits up for me
every morning at dawn
with her hair down
like the word
and her dark eyes
like clear moons.
A woman, made alphabet,
Waits up for me
With her ample smile
And her tragic tears.
Like the spheres, I move along,
Quietly turning,
Asleep between your breasts
Of lemons and darts.
I kiss you between your lips—
always in passing—
and in each orgasm
I die with you.
