i can’t wait to see you again (a poem by Kukogho Iruesiri Samson)

Read Time:52 Second
 last night we chewed silence
 lying together on a prickly bed 
 of unspoken words

 there you were, before me
 after eons of trans-border love
 and mediated orgasms

 i wanted to say many words
 rehearsed on nights of sticky pajamas
 and reckless conversations

 you laid here, on my bed
 within ear reach and finger touch
 but I was mute, crippled

 ah! no one told me
 that miles are closer than centimeters
 and distance is a coward’s wine

 now you are far away, again
 my tongue is unbound
 and I can’t wait to see you again…
