INTENSELY HELD

Desperation flowers.
I wrote the finest book on solitary hell
Its structure resembles sapphire
It shatters numbness
Like a dog bark
It contains transcriptions from sonic frequencies
That annihilate raw sorrow and pain.
People are wonderful
They all have hearts that beat
People are sick
I word them to total inner health...

I want You so much
You have a complexity of a galaxy
We'll lie together as I press against You
And listen to the music
Of Your numerous solar systems
I will inhale Your scent
And share it with my animal group
During Show and Tell
Together we understand a simple truth:

"I need to be held.
She doesn't know what it means
When someone wants me.
It's that I need to be intensely held..."
