Oh let me die, or you, or this;
where now we strain towards a kiss,
and now away. My bones are pressed
against my skin. Oh god I miss

not being pushed, not feeling pulled
or, being by this passion ruled.
in greasy static magnet fields -
we slide around each other, fooled

into this slick and cold suspense
I throb from warmth to frozen tense;
both past and future clot my tongue -
I cannot lay this out in sense.

I cannot lay this thing and grieve.
‘Nay, I have done’, I want to breathe.
now, at the last gasp of love’s latest breath,
Still - you could lie, and I, believe.
