staggering tendrils

staggering tendrils
         run off morning
as people teach you
     kisses & meals
     consumed by liquid lips,
for leaving is not here
on my evening,
     darkened like lace,
     by summer--blossomed--
in secrets, wild
     with want & why,
when all we have
          is this
     --like work--
but I cannot ask you
               to go.
