WISH

"I'm old enough to love you from afar"

WISH

I’ll never know...
Your scent
The hot of your breath in my face
How your weight shifts on a mattress
How you move when enraged No.


And I’ll never know...
What silences dictate your moments of reflection
The texture of water on your body
Which words collide over your lovemaking
That are part of the speed of your passion
Which I will also never know...


Inside
your colossal fears
The tinnabulatum you collect in fatigue
the pain of a bite from you
The sting of a slap from you No.

No. And I will never ever know
Waking to your absence
Waiting your return...No No No.

For all the things I will never know
I might just as well be
A dying virgin.
