limited
in a room, in skin
this waist band
what i know
won’t hurt
we walk the rain woods i ask
what mythic creature
might visit you here
“ a hot sprite
who disappears when i touch her”
ok sure
i’m trying to rattle my own heart
that’s all
give it a good scare
slap myself jokeless
singe on these radiators
break the ice
break the ice
steaming bowl of greens and rice
plum vinegar, sesame
coffee in my little room
dark night
not a time or place
syrup and learning
and learning
and learning
and morning
words like learning
and morning
don’t want the amber or the heather
barely want the honey wax
a little off kilter
chasing wobble
chasing rupture
locked
and limited

I love this and immediately started thinking about the words that are like learning and morning, then the whole poem turned into a prayer of yearning and mourning.
