Desire Obtain Preparedness

EVEN swaying mountains are smoother hungry clouds 

And your ticklish roseate lips like match-lit dewdrops 

are not a memory but realized onward and carried 

within an old man’s satchel; depressed lines as thick

as unfeeling skin; a path to have traveled until the ending

unlike the empty nest that’s screaming.
