My God, again. Again I am lost
in this vortex of loving you.
And this hunger drawn taut
and arched like a bow above my stomach, catgut
stalking the long scowls of sewage
and strangle-fisted skies in search of food,
this hunger is nothing
but a disguise, distracting me
from the abalone sliver that flashes
in my chest, my heart staggers,
unfurred and blinking,
driven straight through.
The poems are liars. They will say and do anything, promise you anything, to make you feel exactly what I feel. But the feelings at least are real.
