all these quiet listenings and understandings
wrapped in the pretense of
devilmay.care.fulness,
when i could reach
my hand into you
and pull out any one
of your
ghosts.
my s{k}in knows you
beneath this;
for i’ve felt, groped all over
blindly, on knees
and hands, trying
to find some small uncontrollable
emotional morsel
on which to feed you.. .. .
you feel like
someone trying
not to feel.. . .
