Incomplete (2022)

Words matter

as matter of

fact

discretion to yell

in our hearts

utter foolishness

to have a sentence

or word

or library

to speak of you

in essence

or richness

maybe math does a better job

what is, what changed, and what remains

but my love, my love

my love

equations of hope and trauma, just don’t solve

they’re more like a riddle

on the edge

of tongues

and fingertips

the distance disturbing

and irresistible
