Like the Worm - Peter Malakoff
Like The Worm
Like the worm
It came unnoticed
hidden so well
in the apple of our desire
Now
The fruit has ripened
and we can't change things
done
so so so long
before
In meetings of delight
and tender tender passion
We have shared everything
everything we have
Except that farther farther farther vision
Where we have died
to each other
lost
Living
our separate partings
of
directions taken
long
long
long
time
ago
