we’ve still not begun
I put away my spell today
and level with myself
when has one not killed
what it is they love
by virtue
of loving it
I know I said here lies
the disillusioned
the disintoxicated
those who’d hoped:
never again
after midnight in the grocery store
with a sudden longing
for each fluorescent aisle
in flow from sleep to day
following where the path
has been laid
each man kills the thing he loves
I could cry
but when I contemplate you
as you contemplate me
it’s like hypnosis
in that I use only positives
to hear only yes
my body, the body
of a lake
uncry for me
what does it look like to be there
what does it feel like
I want to feel how you feel
not know how you feel
how many have begged
I write the word to call upon it
pleasure
turning it over in my mouth
sex about sex
or god not about god
but sex
returning to air
to mouth
to same
I repeat its name
same
together we build a bed
greater than all of the beds in all the cities
I ask the universe, airdrop it to me
I know love is a construct
I know body is a construct
but you can’t tell me
so please now tell me:
when have I not
killed my loving
like how I think I am the fucking ocean
wanting to give endless resonance
using my song to amplify yours
No doubt, I rise and fall
I rise I fall and rise and fall
