Geiger counter April 8, 2012


Round and round I go,

where I stop, only she knows

, the click of the text like t

hat of a Geiger counter,

 telling me how close

 I'm getting,

 yet not yet where I'll end up,

 like a blind man's cane

feeling my way through

 a dark, dark world

with the desperate hope

 that it all turns out best

when I get there,

 in my head a vision of her,

not the streets I stumble over,

 me drunk even before my first sip,

drunk on this image of her in my head,

the lips I ache to kiss,

 those tight hips attached

 to those long legs,

the clicking growing stronger,

 louder, firmer, more positive

with each precarious step.
