Yesterday's Poem

(for Tommy)

was the color of your eyes
reflecting against the hot clouds
of a sky a thousand miles 
away from me

where I imagined your voice
a short distance
about the width of the circle of our embrace
my fingers tracing your face

breathing you in
remembering
when i thought i'd lost you forever
again

and this,
yesterday's poem

is my way
of dancing
slowly into the tomorrow

when i can hold you
and be held by you

again.
