I’ve put the key in the ignition, and my foot is on the clutch.

I’ll turn the key slowly, and let the motor purr.

The knob of the gear lever is hard and fills my hand.

I run my fingers over its smooth surface before cupping it in my palm.

Are you cold? I thought I saw you shiver.

I gently shift the lever into first and ease up on the clutch while pressing on the accelerator.

The engine revs and we glide forward slowly.

I feel your hand on mine, wanting to change gears, but I forget to press the clutch in and we jerk to a stop.

Your hand caresses my thigh, and my engine is as warm and ready as the cars.

Will you let me take you for a drive?

I think if I could focus for a minute or an hour,
I’d be able to harmonize and find a bit of power.
I’d meditate on what it’d take to hold you in my arms,
To then feel safe and comforted, protected from all harms.

I’d hope that you could save me from my melancholy days,
And come to me and love me in a hundred and one ways.
Your kisses and caresses would soothe my aching heart,
I really cannot stand it that we spend this time apart.

When things spiral out of control and I am deeply sad,
I’ll close my eyes and think of you and what we might have had.
And if I think of all the things that we have left to do,
The chaos that’s my nightmare will be vanquished all by you.
