[bodytext] => I hold a piece of calm
here by the shore to skim along his prose like smooth stone. ...He says he waits for me in his world... He tugs and pulls me in with murky tongue ...his hunger and craving not yet completed... as I slip and slide and fall between warm waves that lap the river’s edge near noon today. I smile and he laughs ...and asks me to immerse him in my longings... and I wonder if his gentle words are just a lure to suck me in deeper than I am and drown me in my own bottomless want. I read each line ...and follow him to the place of his dreams... and they spin me round in currents and turn my head in whirlpools to black algae numb. My fears—I do not care I do not think. The truth I know. These words, though sent to me, were first spent on another months before. And as his last...dance with me...fades to a whisper floating away I hold my breath he holds my heart here by the shore I feel alone.
