infinite regress

why do I still want you so

have I wandered from the path 

in going back will I just find

more of the reason I left it back 

in breathing you and seeing me 

will we regain what's lost?

or is it all for not this time 

uncovered past still rots 

i lean deeply into you 

it's the only way I know 

i'm riddled with thoughts of you 

they're the only thoughts I know 

in making you mine once again 

will there be more to gain 

or are we stringing us along 

just to find a different end. 

imbalance

a melting mound

observing your station

from the adjacent cushion

eyelids prowling 

synapses short circuit 

chalky skin crumpled

understated buoys 

glowing rich silk

there's a warm body

iced in frazzled misfirings

connections dropped 

control center holiday 

I sink farther 

a witness 

to such tragic display

knowing coordinates lie 

outside my reach 

if you wait 

this stasis 

is yours 

for the taking

but it will consume you

a wholenother way.
