my
mouth
opens
wider
bursting
exploding
like the
sky afire
spitting
imploding
molten sparks
& ashen spirals
harking disaster
seeking
answers
what sin
have i
committed
what fact
have i
omitted
in my quest
for this
bliss
why did u
court me
why did u
sort me
out of the
maze
of women
dazed & driven
to be matched
w/ a man
like
u
are u satisfied
- love
have u quantified
- love
all my displays
of devotion
&
pathetic notions
of humble
affections
tossed in ure
direction
how else
should this
obedient heart
dance
for
u
elude me
no longer
hide me
no longer
from ure
beautiful face
lay waste
to the terrain
between us
map my territory
stake ure claim
to this
generous prize
who stains
her eyes
black as nite
& rises
& sighs
with
out
u

find me
bind me
turn me
over
sign me

I AM
URES

indelibly
