Inbetween Worlds: Writing -- Poetry -- One Day

One Day

One day we'll meet
Not in an airport as we both thought
But out on the street
Which is good
Because reality might have a hope for survival then
In a wide open space
Where the energy can escape

I'll say your name
Because I'll feel you first
And aside from "I'm gay"
Your name will be
The most meaningful sound I ever utter

And the universe will hold its breath

You'll stiffen because my voice is a lost part of you

As a cosmic sigh escapes,
You'll turn and say "My Kalev"
Because you know it will hurt me the most
Of all the things you could say
Because it mocks everything we were meant to be

I'll be fighting the urge to run
And railing, futilely, as I always do,
Against the unnecessary walls which separate
"the way things are"
from
"the way things should be"

Not even with my strength and my need to love you
Can I ever break those walls
The only person who ever made me strong enough
For a feat like that is the person standing in front of me,
Behind those walls which he erected

What on earth will I say to you?
