by Connie Johnson


why muddy the waters
you with your spells me with my prayers
& all this unfinished business between us

nothing you foretold changed much
doors still closed along with chapters
still i know you wanted to conjure this

sprawling; legs entwined
fingers touch & remember:

this is where my soul
resides
