Squeezing out a saturated rag.
Torn asunder, pieces of a heart.
Head, eyes, lips, arms — sore-sag.

I’d thought I’d known weeping.
I was only dreaming; nightmares
hidden in caves, silently creeping.

A mime’s hand, waving away his smile,
pocketed in eternity’s...

When I woke up with thunder thighs

Jealous of our ways
Slowly corrupting the mind
Drawing out the suffering

Love offers, sacrifices
Out of fearful darkness as a bright light, love arises 
Love compromises, love advises

Love capitalizes, centralizes You
Love exercises and legitimizes You
Love doesn't jeopardize, or terrorize
Love doesn't lobotomize, love...
