Spirit Lust

(from the collection Wanton Psalms)

I only want to
rub my heart
and rifle through your cards

catch your eyes
in action

slightly more expansive
I seek your face
everywhere

avoiding too loud
in the hope
of hearing your silence

my unrequited spirit lust
searches for a long pause
is that the problem

is my vacuous desire
my human ache
showing too plainly

a sting brings back the purpose
chaos vision
eloquence astounds

meaningless and all that's true
the wonder of how to
embody
