there is a stinging

there is a stinging

i fill these moments
with sugar, enough sugar
to preserve them for

at least a decade, maybe

i use a tiny
spoon because it makes the ice

i want to hold you

i want to hold you
for much longer

in the shower again
for a moment longer,
no, even longer,
examining
the newest line
we have drawn, the old
lines we have crossed
