There is a wind that seeks the crevice under my heart the way insects file at night beneath a doorway
Its edges are rough, it slits the cords. It trips my steady breathing. When it comes there is no one I can trust.
It seems, at times, I have designed too well this vision of you. I cannot survive your eyes when they are scarred with a need for some lesser form of love.
I admit to this conceit. And though you will not accept it You love it nonetheless
It is just like you. Our desires will always be kept sharp by a kind of perversity. A need to be each forever aloneā¦.
Its color is violet, like lips that have been smashed by nights or robbed of blood by lack of breath. The wind I was speaking of does this.

under my heart
the way insects file at night
beneath a doorway
Its edges are rough, it slits
the cords. It trips my steady breathing.
When it comes there is no one
I can trust.

The wind I was speaking of does this.
I can feel it now.
