This World Which Is Made of Our Love for Emptiness

Praise to the emptiness that blanks out existence. Existence:

This place made from our love for that emptiness

Yet somehow comes emptiness,

this existence goes.

Praise to that happening, over and over!

For years I pulled my own existence out of emptiness.

Then one swoop, one swing of the arm,

that work is over.

Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,

free of mountainous wanting.

The here-and-now mountain is a tiny piece of a piece of straw

blown off into emptiness.

These words I’m saying so much begin to lose meaning:

Existence, emptiness, mountain, straw:

Words and what they try to say swept

out the window, down the slant of the roof.

i love you,

but you dont understand me

im a real poet

my life is my poetry

my lovemaking is my legacy

and this summer night,

you in front of me

makes me contemplate the origins of good and evil

because

you take and

you take and

you take

but you taste like the beach and a kiss

candy for my eyes in my veins you run citrus

watercolor images of serpents on orange trees arise in my midst

you breathe me,

i could do this forever

but my heart is very fragile and i have nothing left to give

[lacedcurtain]

i cant sleep without you

no ones ever really held me like you

not quite tightly, but certainly i feel your body next to me

smoking next to me

vaping lightly next to me

and i love that you love the neon lights

like me
