Everything Ever Asked For

Excitement, sudden
in the person:
     Everything-Ever-Asked-For.
Frustration, unexpected
in the person:
     Once-Again-Not-Enough.

Everything Ever Asked For

Bob Komives

Gentle time together.
Hard time apart.
Perfect often.
Not often enough.
Too few days.
Too few moments.
Not enough night.

Loss came suddenly
in the tongue slip:
-All-Or-Nothing!-
-If not all, then nothing-

Absent again the sometimes perfect,
nothing remains of not enough.
