A single breath.
He watches her go off
like a firecracker, like
a fit of sullen sparks
and still he sees her, seizes
her, sails the seven seas
to find her sustenance,
a wayward glance, a sly
and sudden something like
a sneeze, the silent sound
of please that’s reckoned
in a gasp, a gazing, grazing,
dazed and dying on her
lips. Against the sodden hollow
where his heart once was.
And so to dark in dreaming
of everything she’s stealing
with absolutely no intent
of ever giving any of it
back.
