closer

an evening and half a night,
we talk about lust and love,
desire, despair, pain.
the bottles getting empty.
doublebedded we get closer.

i kiss your balding grey head
give comfort with my body.
tears well into your children's eyes
when i call you my sweet kiddo.

schoolboy

if only one day it could be
the cutest schoolboy telling me
after school and staying late
sir, it's sciences i hate

i can't tell a root from a square
all that you teach about in there
in my dreams i travel far
discovering a newborn star

i want to know all about space
how constellations interlace
he babbles on with shyish smile
my heart stops beating for a while

would you teach me after school
i don't want to stay a fool
anxious he awaits my voice
so cute, so soft, i have no choice

reality is harsh and cold
he is young and i am old
he leaves the building, muscles tense
shouting in adolescence

hello

he calls in the deep of night
hello, this is me
i cannot sleep
were you?
yes, i shiver
i just went to bed

what's up?
and he tells his sorrow
and hours later
when he is fast asleep
i turn around and around
thinking of him
