Ronan Barbour

Massachusetts 

it had been about a year
since I last called 
and her Dad had died
so I facetimed her 
to give my condolences 
and as I watched her face
I felt her long soft flowing hair
the back of her neck
the joy-burst 
of her lips
and continued to get 
aroused 
looking at her bare shoulder
above her cream-colored fuzzy 
jumper 
and suddenly 
I proposed 
that we be married to each other
about a week 
once a year 
and she said
Yes 

now 
contemplating our next rendezvous 
I miss her body 
remembering the glorious sight of her
riding me that warm summer in Boston  

I miss her 
like the sailor the late morning rise
