Speech Impediment
Posted in Verse on Sep 30th, 2003
fallen sideways in
yawning silence
will you let me love
you
without reducing your
significant soul to
kahlil’s haskell?
there is no one else
i would rather crawl
on my knees for
bloody on rocks fierce
with our mutual
reticence
come i will not blaze
my own bitter trail down
your cheeks
i am not that frivolously
selfish
but surely crave the
resonance
your dreams etch in
my own disembodimence
too far apart yet closer
still our fears […]
