Waiting for the vibration April 9, 2012

 


My phone vibrates

Under my pillow

Like a sex toy,

Making me react

The same way

I know who is

On the other end

Of thee line,

A spirt that

Haunts me

Every night,

Like a wet dream

Seducing me

Even when it’s

Only text,

I see her lips move

In each pic she posts,

Or recall her

From across the table

At the office,

Her deep eyes

Looking at me,

Then away,

Teasing,

While we both pretend

We’re not even there,

The vibration

Of my vibrating phone

Stirring me down
to the bones,

Though worse

Is when the phone

Doesn’t,

And I cling to it

Breathless in

Anticipation,

Rocked awake

When it finally

Comes,

If not always

When I want it to,

Or expect it,

A ghost who when

She does,

Soothes me off to sleep

And into the deep

Dreams

Of pure delight.
