Gravity

Magnetized
I draw north
ember to moon
lodestone to lodestar
to your shining body
bearing gifts
bearing gifts dried blue roses
bearing gifts fractured geodes
bearing gifts darkling wolf cubs
held-harnessed-hauled by hunger for a heart
that won’t recoil from my heat
but

Once more I
am repelled on contact
torn out of orbit
by the self that is not

Seeking gravity
Seeking gravity I listen
to a black-haired singer
standing by the headstone of his little boy’s grave
I’m just waiting for you 
I’m just waiting for you he cries
I’m just waiting for you he cries waiting for you

We wait together
silent in the vanishing light
waiting for
waiting for feeling for

waiting for feeling for Weight
