Psycho Analysis

Psycho Analysis
by Michael R. Burch

This is not what I need...
ANALysis,
paralysis,
as though I were a seed
to be planted,
supported
with a stick and some string
until I emerge.
Your words
are not water. I need something
more nourishing,
like cherishing,
something essential, like love
so that when I climb
out of the lime
and the mulch. When I shove
myself up
from the muck...
we can f**k.
