Jamaica Again?

Yes
Jamaica and I have become close

again
the hills knock at me sound sleep
one night

fitful and entwined the other
the same lamp

one garbage can
under the desk

meals delivered
decadent

and friendships are still in tact
who would have guessed
that awful fact

stacked high
the cards are allowed to tangle
this version is safer

less free
falling is less free the second time around

revisit
me in the future aspirations of truth
fantasy

and I am home
yes love

home again
grandma
and houses yet visited

friends
foolish perhaps I am being foolish
but when am I not

foolish enough for you
my love is an enigma

float me
foolish

frenzy is behind the flogged filial
the failed fruit falling

is freedom
the second time grounds harder
hit me
grass spread thinly on rock me steady

sleepless
but still steeped in the soft of you

we are not so slender anymore
but slim is the chance that we might

do this again
how does one plot for a tumble

hope it does not come to blows
tears
hope slashed

sealed
sleeping in a darkened room
light seeping through the curtains

different
but the same smell

slanted and not quite falling
over ourselves

the aura is electric here in this small room
womb-like we slept

and hoped the morning would be kinder
than the blue blood of such a night

Jamaica
yes I am in Jamaica now

blowing breezes cool
running down the sly throat of things hoped for

kiss the wind in your city for me,
Staceyann
