August 09, 1997

(k)

you familiar angel find me
walking while asleep. your faceless
body & changeless forms follow to awaken me.

the sweet I tasted in your mouth
defines the taste of sweetness
the depth between your lips
defines the limitless

& you finally disappear
after a sudden arrival.
absence shocks like lightning
briefly illumined
static definition
effortless force
ignition.
