Not By Naught
Even as chastity lifts her skirt andHolds the length of her thigh against my waist
I am at loss,
How can I say it:
I cannot claim the leg
I cannot claim the heart,
These words do not belong to me
While my mouth is still a macron over (woah)
Her smile, too close, osculable and warm
And leaning into mine, but there it goes;
She returns to her hollow of light
I clamber into my burrow of dark
So even as I tilt towards bedlam
For the length of a season with a tin cup
In my hand, a crutch, arriving at the end of
The world alone, slouched and gray
And wordless
Her breath mizzles just a breath away
And my mouth a macron over woe.
