legs

he's been gone now for days
how many exactly I don't really know or
I don't really want to know because
my body aches with his ghost.

the heat is making people crazy in this town and
the smoke and the haze and the
pretty, pretty pink sunsets from all the fires
make us all smell a little rugged.
tomorrow I leave again
to fly around in the sky, to
touch down on lands I've never seen and
it all sounds so very exotic but
it's really quite sad sleeping in
too-starched hotel rooms and
walking in streets with unfamiliar names.

I want to touch down in his land and see him
smile at me in the mornings when
I wake up with my feet
on his perfect, puzzle peice legs.
