We Need a Code Word
So that one day, if I missed you
while sitting at my desk at work,
I could text you that word, and
we would both know it was time
to gather our things and leave
early for the day and meet at
home where we would throw
together a suitcase, leave out
the big bowls for the cats, and
make arrangements for the kids,
and not an hour after my text,
be on our way to some quiet
place with decent food and a
view of nature, and I would be
just yours and you would be
just mine for a night, maybe
a weekend, and wouldn't we
smile and remember to hold
hands, and wouldn't we look
more closely at each other, and
wouldn't we fall back in together
like a sigh, and wouldn't it feel
just like cool water on our skin?
