attempts to alienate confusion

decaf, a necessary intrusion

I miss you.

float me past the contusions

the knots in my shadow crave fusion

I spill you.

the fragments in frosty perfection

arranging the shards of reflection

I see you.

memory’s space incandescing

cauterise weds convalescing

I place you.

the pieces not lifed in competing

the peace not in ice but the heating

tapestried sensed in the meeting

I love you.
