In every relationship there are three #5
Of course there’s only her and me
in the room
in the quiet not- gloom
but I sometimes sense another
she doesn’t speak of this to me
never says
who he is
but men know
have intuition
He is the one I can never be
The mountain climber swimmer
a non-dreamy man
the airline pilot, the parachutist,
the skier, the athlete
a man who speaks to dogs and of dogs
who yearns to live in far country
with a herd of dogs
and maybe some steer……
Of course she never speaks of him
does not have a name for him
does not paint a face
he is not six foot four
and 205
and he does not look like
he is carved from a mountain…
In every room there are three
I never see him
but I sense
when he has just been there
when I am not enough
and can never be
I am not ashamed
to not be him
I am just aware
Some nights
when everything goes just right
when there are candles and poems
and lights shine in the morning sky
we have that room then
when there are only two
If I knew more
there would only ever
be two
