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
