[bodytext] => black wings brush my skin as you tuck me under. . . anticipation is stretched across sinew, over bone & I am at once, both real & sublime in your seizure. I want awkardly. . . & dive cautiously into this catalyst, because what offering. . . what offering does not burn like a ghost in the heat of desire. my heart is a cold box with a stone lock & a brittle key, waiting. . . waiting. . . on betrayal's promise, that antidote for love, a bitter & replete cordial, that arrives like a yellowing thorn, whispering. . . "take me into you so that I might fester" "take me in like a knife" "take me in, for you are surely torn in your bewilderment, & I can be no worse." "no worse for the measure" yet I demand, like a newly washed prayer, like a staving off . . . a fortune hunter's kiss . . . a shooting star like a stone blind cropper, examining the field. . . I want. . . a love that wears itself like a treasured belonging, a song, like a salve, that calls out from the kitchen, come into my rift, a fist that does not pound it's guilty proof through to the heart, a coupling that does not resurrect dirt. I need. . . the danger of that sudden gift. . . that wide-eyed, all in, comfort of filling yourself & empting yourself, sacredly into the soft, soft understanding of time & breath & silken throes. . . a fraction of the gentle confession, that creature of your laugh flowing tenderly your spell is a kindness. . . is a lacking, wished away. . . is a closure for a dead heart, whose once echoing beat lay empty & obsolete. . . & I am not afraid. . .

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
