covet
we are both boundbut unbound to one another
except in longing to touch
our sealed lips
with mouths open and merely
words spoken only touching sounds
and not each other
what choices
we ask of ourselves
daily
struggling against desires
we are committed
but not committed to one another
perhaps in another world
we would be an us
and dreaming of not one another
but some others
