from your profile
I mistook you
for everything you were
unattainable
a paradox at the pinnacle
and I reached the top
now I'm letting go

in a sideways glance
you offered me
what I could not accept
an ultimatum
"I will walk in your sun,
and I'll fall in love.
But it won't outlast the month."

it is sad and lustrous
pressed upon this
satin bedspread
in the dark
rain and street lights
our own empty island

and when the arc is traced back
they will find that
I may have laughed
as I loved
loud and free
obnoxious and alive

what is this new fleece
a flesh I sink into
my teeth
poking at the gums, bleeding

I nip at your heels
through a woolen mask pulled over
fitted and familiar

the forms you take always surprise me
mostly because, until now
I had thought I was the one disguised
but even so, my reaction is the same
immediate
absolute
obsessive and persistant

all hailed and sails heaved in the gale, seething a bereaved breath of wind and widowed wails.
the wall failed and seas squeezed by the rail, a breeze indeed met with ease the useless shovel and the pale.

I seek no sensation I have never felt
I am nostalgic and I'm overwhelmed

and in my dreams I do indulge in
simple things you can't imagine

the taste of fruit before it blooms
the way you move among the fumes
the weight and wealth of pyramids
the ticking and who's hearing it
