P

When you arrive 

Tomorrow

Tangle me with your body

.

Then maybe I will forget

For a second 

That I was in a war

That in another era

I would appear

Across the mangroves

& you would

Hold every fibre

Of my terror

& make it go away

.

Something is too incandescent

To be left unattended

Do you not covet over

The same love we

Never get 

The chance to

Persevere?

.

I do not want

To yonder in the aether

Or to sonder in silence

Let alone meandering

In a loop of wonder 

.

To pulse inches from

You / tell me

If not even a tinge

Of your soma

Is moaning to be fondle?

.

My aorta is undying

Only your blood 

I would carry

. 

Where to wait

If not behind the counter

Murmuring wishes

Between every shade

Let me blend to your pastel

. 

Saturated with an impulse

May tomorrow’s starvation

Be satiated -

.
