him

i had a dream, I was in my house
and he told me, 'it's cold in here. you need more warmth in your life.'

and I knew he was right.
he walked and his pants fell down.
I saw his smooth back, curves, legs
strong legs
the warmth of his smile
of acceptance
that everything would turn out just fine.
no matter how long it took to set it right.

smooth curve of his back
long serpentine legs
slightly stooped shoulders from reading a lot
a sweet smile, a smile that said, 'huh -- wow -- isn't that nice?' a little surprise in his smile. a little awakening. and when he smiled or even laughed, it was huge! like, this didn't happen very often. like, nobody rarely ever could make him smile, let alone laugh. that was HIS job -- to make everyone else laugh. so he was grateful... and surprised.
