What I have for you
A thirst for your touch
Unquenchable even with the most heated movement
Burning deep
What I have is not any want
No, it's a need
I need you
Badly
And I anxiously await the moment my
Hunger may be sated
Even momentarily.

Ugo
it's hard to crack a
coconut while
sitting under the
water;
in order to understand
the fundamentals of a
broken heart
you've got to know the
secrets of the soul

wait.

99% of human beings
are enchanted
and to lick the moon
you don't always have to
travel to mars.

Now wait.
I kept pretending
That I couldn't remember your name
So determined that you weren't
Worth the time of day
I guess it's a reflection
Of my own sorry self
Such pretentious invention
Of isolation's hell
Featherhead:

I
once saw a
girl
with feathers
for hair

They
were colorful
flourishing with
parallels
as if they might teach

Our eyes met
she
became bald
and her teeth started to

fall

She
walked   away
watching her feet
and
I
remained uneducated
Seen
through a telescope:
ten cents worth of fog.
A man comes to a divergence
Two paths in his view.
One tamed and treaded,
One dark and dreaded.

A man moves to the neglected,
So he may follow in the wake
Of more impressive footsteps.
