Soliloquy


she stands, down stage right

the continued apotheosis of this man I cannot escape,
takes more of my time than is visible from any angle
it takes careful attention and worship of each,
unintentional, spoken phrase or motion to
be renovated into what I see as a  grand gesture
                      of love
I wonder if my need has ascended to a dangerous summit
dare I say, that I beg to kneel before him with lashes fluttering,
lips wet and ready for kiss; this moment is an eternity to me
I am nowhere to be found, save for the warm place I linger
               waiting, close by
