This Weakness
 

 


Only you bring out
this weakness in me
through wrinkling sleep
and naked dreams--
leaving my body each night
adrift in haunt
I sense you again
my weakness
Unsheltered, I float free,
move into madness
feeling flat and fatal
I do not ask for this to stop
my love
my haunt
my weakness
We flow soft together like fog clouds
We curl like twirly waves lifting
to touch the sun in unison
There is always
this futile blend
dressed like feathery sigh wings
as natural as a bodies shadow
that skips through my slit-lids--
an escape of the soul
into you, only you
stole me from myself
You clothed yourself in lover lies
from loose, wet lips
flapping gravel-madness
I died there my love
I died there
my body unfolding itself
back into me each night
when I sense you in the haunting
hunger of this weakness
I feel
as it encircles me
again and again
and tears me into tears
