Grab My Elbow

The fingers 
over my 
bare skin or
gently on top of 
light jacket in spring,
I miss that pressure 
on my arm 
that physicality 
of my day.

Rain doesn't stop  Grief  Or  Desire to pursue Push through Dance in freedom  To be  In the streets of Soho  Out the door of Broome Street And Crosby  The intersection of this chapter  Of my life  Traffic backed up Horns blaring Lights blurring  Like our stories  Our strengths Running to get to the other side  Of being  In the wet wonder  The race to rush  Exhilaration  No one is stopping me  I am me  I am parts of my parents I am individually  In me-ness Meeting you  Holding your  Hand  My friend  As you see  Navigate  The streets  Of your own world  Alive   I will go out  In my tears  Singing in the rain

Can't afford to rent a car to visit Point Pleasant or Lavalette. Chris never chooses the Coney Island commute, will complain, won't do it. I am open to the wasted space, ready to find more, willing to be stranded for a while near the water. How to use energy  How to be in this time hello me, hello mom, there, where?, here. Retrieve. The physical music of your voice is gone. I am in a vacant lot some nights with no car no buildings, no sounds of birds. Nature, I stop, here. The nectar  is your poetry, lettters, emails, cards, clothing, jewelry Bumblebees and butterflies flit near flowers I am our creation the embodiment of love continues.
