He buries his face in fabric
Determined to push through to
An otherwhere, otherself,
Born extraneous.
He could never comprehend
The pain of another, especially
One so sweet; she made his teeth ache
And his chest collapse,
Ribs snapping under the gravity of love.
Oh, it was magnificent, riding
Proud an impossible vessel,
Feeling everything
At once unthought.
He learns, grows, and in its usual
Manner, time passes. A year
No longer seems so endless, spent
Happily with a nice girl. They
Talk, and of course do outrageous things,
Shocking sheep with their brazen
Naked adventures.Yet
Sensible thought, logic even,
Forges a stable path somewhere
In the middle of love.
Mental harness ensures
Tempered ends are educational
Nettle stings; a fact
Of life.
Does processed refining
Love wear smooth pebbles
Just to skim farther?
Fuck bare utility, I still
Crave the delicious dunk of a
Precisely tossed stone sunk.
Stop separate self
And learn feel;
Hear thought through
Dizzy foolish clarity beats.
I want a love painted sharp
On glass with a crayon
Made from sexy elephants;
A platonic palindromic full-body orgasm,
Lasting as my soul.
