Somewhere but here

sweat trickles down
my back
like icicles melting
to succumb
to the force of
the earth that pulls
pulls
pulls it down
its core
only to become
nothing more
like water
absorbed
into dry land
to replenish
the thirst
momentarily
but never forever
but as sweat trickles down
i writhe
in the thought
that i could be anywhere
but here
in this four cornered room
thinking of
you
your life
that you've moved on with
into
somewhere
anywhere
but here...
