A Friend In You

 

you get angry, you love men, I talk of foreign women. I know passion, you know aggression, if two were one Sunday morning. I get mad, a little spacey sipping at 11 a.m. I write like losing sanity, you judge like another’s eyes, with want to tread in shivers—the furious fires all through hills, he tells of something you understand. so much need, allergic to literature, prefer being told a lie: “Eyes killing me, hips begging, as never another soul.” I peruse auras, he grabs and dies, I seize with words—like crazed when physical, like a dungeon in sorrow, like a fool with problems. more physical. more animal. more aggression.

I see sexy I see art I wonder why it’s such a hassle. I slam a beer. I eat guarana. I put on a pot of coffee. I smoke like, really! I hit a computer, filled with balance, so beautiful how a light flow. indeed, Mechtilde, like Exercises, Gertrude, like Jerusalem, Huldah. I get mad more into a gnat, looking at some vision, seeing hands touch flesh. like gunning like rumors like a friend in you.
