The Visitor

I imagined you’d be taller
when the doorbell rang
but I expect you’ve knocked down
your fair share of men
I reimagined our filmic encounters
in grainy black and white
and you were talented enough
to change my reels that night
I sit and wait patiently
for the doorbell again
but it’s been six months
since it last rang
