All Or Not At

take it all take everything i'll give it up (all) give it away all or not at all for the sake the taste the temptation the tossed aside remnants the last drop at the bottom of the once empty cup with the polka dots imprinted on my mind or the shape of sheets & blankness imprinted on my back your eyes consuming thought take away the focus & blur for me the rough edges & harder lines take away need structure remove the emptiness from the core of light the center spreads forgetting myself in blind sensation my mental undoing be for me, the last thought (before the end of thoughts) erase it all with one stroke of skilled ink & spilled inference indistinct intutition
