De profundis


Racing frantic
must do must go must get
thoughts crowding jostling
fighting for front place

Love is missing


Idle
won’t do can’t go get what
sleepy not sleeping, dozing not dreaming
heavy, inert

Dull
don’t know can’t see what’s where
fog sticky brain cells messy mind
gears stuck

Knowing
this is that and they are those
you should
right wrong

Cowering
run hide survive protect
shaking crying shrinking
small and mean

Love is absent

Except when

--cowardly judgmental dim-witted lazy ambitious--

reaching
one finger, thought, stretch of heart
for love

Love that answers attempts
Love that goes
gently swiftly dreaming doing
boldly beholding tasting
giving sharing
Love
