No. Won
If I asked you to grant me treasures
Worth more than gold
What would you find in the desert blooms?
Watered life and peaceful strife
A chance for greater choosing
Over and under deserved love?
Justice exhumed?
I think you would
Know you might
Take patience too far.
In fondness of such, allow me this arrogance
Prideful and unearned
Dreamt affection.
Salience reworded.
I am a sorry-
-son
-liar.
And you are anything but unkind.
Truly:
Know yourself to be worthy of love in all
respects
and
kinds.
Grasp it.

No. Too
To break before surrender
To trust despite misgivings
Unabashedly:
The manner in which I admire such courage.

Trust me not, oh brother far mine.
Trust me not, oh sister unkind.
Trust me, I am yours-
-no?

No. For
You lied.
God does not care
that I swear or argue
about hair and misgivings.
How can a figment-

Nonsensical nonsense is simply sense
unnamed and disregarded.
Unless…
“Double negatives do not count,”
says who?

I have licked a Peanut Butter Spoon - the capitalization is necessary.
It’s like summer on my tongue, thick and heavy
humid despite the chill.
It molds like rain, and fills like pain-
-less opportunities at fun.
…I should lick a Peanut Butter Spoon.

Oh saviour unseen, oh messiah unsung!
You died.

Rejection lingers in the lungs,
stealing breath,
stealing sun.

No. Nein
For why would I be aught but myself?
Doth the eagle swim?
Doth the whale totter?
Forsooth, I am Man.
Forsooth, I am-

Eros, to whom I bleed.
His mother, from whom I seek.
Steal not this empty parcel of mine.
Leave its contents - bare though they are - in hands calloused by softest leather and unfelt scars.
Let this heart of hemp and bone
feel itself together-
-alone.
