My Thoughts of You

they palpitate and stir,
spurn and sneer,
over steeps and peaks,
through time and space,
then fall-
bleeding out
like a double death
of creatures so vast,
they stamp out the sun.

somewhere there are tornadoes
spinning and thrusting
across the plains.
somewhere a thunderstorm dies.

somewhere I'm begging a stranger
to assault me-
just so I can remember what it's
like to be touched.
