Trading
Places
He walked
quietly into the eye of a storm,
"Greg, you are
so beautiful," he said,
and stood firmly
beside me,
even as he realized,
I was the source
of the thunder and lightening
He followed me,
from the east
coat to the west,
and across the
ocean and back,
as demons beckoned
me,
from far away
lands.
He waited patiently
for me,
in the early hours
of the morning,
as I returned,
carrying the scent
of yet another man,
and held me as
I slept.
"Greg, I love
you," he said,
looking into my
eyes.
I can still see
his soft brown curls,
and sad puppy
dog eyes,
as I said, "Toby,
I cannot commit."
He danced again
tonight,
for strangers,
who wanted his
body,
but came home
alone,
to wait in the
dark for me.
Always faithful,
always bending,
always steady,
always giving,
always loving.
He told me once,
"The heart is the home,"
as we traveled
from coast to coast.
I'm glad you feel
that way,
I want to go to
Chicago.
"I'll go anywhere
with you," he said.
I am unable to
speak,
as I look at you
now…
so quiet and still,
so mangled,
wrapped in zippered
plastic against cold hard steel.
I see fragments
of blood stained glass,
from the windshield
of the blue 78 Cougar,
imbedded in your
skin.
Your fate in the
Windy City,
at my hand, I
fear.
Like Scarlett,
I am free at last to speak,
the words you
always wanted to hear.
For truly in my
heart, I loved you,
beyond the surface
of my fear.
Rise my love so
I may fall.
