and i can recall
midway airport
holding you
kissing you
looking at you
your tears and my tears
a mess on both of our faces
and i can recall tasting the salty tears
not sure if it was mine
or yours
not really caring
but just floored at the moment
of leaving and loving
no matter how short your stay
how much we had gathered and sustained
oh my love
how i need you back home
simply with no palsied poetics
come home please.
