Partner



Death has come at last.
I am on my bed
going back and back
turning the pages, trying to search
for the space where feelings fell
in place, where time stopped,
but I was slipping on the surface
when I thought fearfully of death.
I looked out of the window
nothing has stopped, nothing changed
save the body that held me so long,
and brought me finally to my friend.

I am meeting my lover
shy, hesitant as ever,
no I welcome you
though I know
I will never be done

I was always looking for you,
in the meaning of life I was missing you too.
