You linger


You linger in my sunday

in the depth of its minute

in the scope of its promise

in the lack of its ambition.


You linger in my sunday

in the rest in my bones

in the sleep in my eyes

in the silence between heartbeats.


You linger in my sunday

in the tight alliances between these letters

in the distant spaces between these words

in the flight of the hand that wrote them.
