It Takes a Long Time to Simply Be
~Rajean Gallagher 2005



Clothes and shame hit the floor silently-
they drop from me,
as soon as I see You
and I
believe that longing to be
is not belonging
transposed,
then torn apart.

And I truly believe
that longing to be
is not some discreet variable
sewn into the fabric
of life as
clothes and shame hit the floor silently.
