Seventh Heaven again? April 14, 2012

 


Leave it to me

To get lost

On the way

To an affair,

Scribbling down

The wrong address

So as to wind up

Staring up at a building

I knew could not be hers,

The moan of the Lincoln Tunnel,

The scent of its traffic

Clogging me up,

This massive building

With more windows

That god could ever open,

Seventh heaven?

But which window was hers?

Her persistent text

Asking where fuck I am,

Repeating the correct address,

My face blushing

Even though she couldn’t’ see it,

Finding my self striding

Towards her building

Feeling no confidence at all,

Lost inside my own head

Seventh Heaven?
