How do I...

To have longed for a drive

Then

To learn to lurch longing

Now

To’ve longed for nearness

Both of thought and feeling

And to learn to curtail now

To’ve longed for the wind

That shall graze your skin first

Then mine

And now to learn to unfeel it all

To ‘ve dreamt of being yours

Forever

How do I learn to unlive it all?

To’ve never spoken it

How do I cease listening?

To’ve drawn every moment within

How do I learn to erase it all?

How do I bridge

What lives unleashed?
