"The Want of You"
i am sick with the want of you
came to the crater and did not find love
i have found instead
fat soaking disappointment
smooth old stone friend familiar
turn over in my hand
in rhythm with smooth thoughts
ride mind cycle of waves
body and mind in sync
it is
a bitter that does not bite and does not give in
i do not say that the look of you fills me with bursting
pulse not pulse triumph
my own insatiability is reproach enough
please
be meticulous with your unraveling
this is only one type of end
