Later–When?

written by Kenyan Rockey

Against the door,
or its framework, down
my middle,
Left knee pressed to the wall beyond and
upper thigh;
My hand braces the frame, looking in.
It’s almost forced as I’m
brimless, breathless, or
just less. Left breastbone, mine,
is reflective in its position of the same knee, voids
crawling through my tailbone and my pelvis. You’re

there. With your cool and
coils,
Your stare of sensation a monument in your vision,
Leaving
to share a singular.
indistinct touch.
