Don't you think I wanted you
there beneath my skin?
Did you think me unafraid--
or
did you think I'd call you sin?
A prodding
of a needle thin
just the way it used to be
Don't you think I wanted you?
slipping just beneath my grin
giving me what used t'be...
in a double dose of home
feathers falling under feet
trailing heathers twixt the toes
and calling me to blessening
as if the motionings of me
should grant the waters purity
and the tide of one sad eye
divides the absolute with this--
just a teaspoon of a toss
strained across the green
absynthe,

dripping melt

of one sweet square

on my craven tongue?

Did you think I'd call you sin?

Then

you don't know me at all.

what I do KNOW is...
if you didnt write......that would be the sin.

"in a double dose of home"

sometimes what we think is home can be so scary..

amazing.
