oh, but to see your features once again  
to gently brush my hand against your cheek  
to have you look up suddenly and then  
to kiss you on the mouth -- my knees grow weak  
from just the thought of having you be near  
imagining you'll walk right through that door  
throw off your heels or slippers, I'll say "here"  
and watch you as your dress falls to the floor  
remembering your lips as I wake up  
and kissing you so softly on the nose  
our secret names, no, not my Buttercup  
my Jezebel, still with me when I doze

the universe, indifferent, took you first  
the house is full of echoes, and I thirst
