Let me just be with you

I sent you running around the house

while I sit

making a short list for the store

a few things for cookies

more I will but shouldn’t spend

for delight with you.

Now that the noise is gone

it’s easier to feel loneliness

like a heavy wave over the

whole front of my body.

Then I hear you in the next room

and think

maybe it’s another feeling entirely,

how can I feel alone

when we are together.

And you’re asking me what song

I have stuck in my head.

Right now I’m just trying

to not be stuck there.
