Seeking Anteros

October 07, 2017




I placed a tiny pink
advertisement
in the worn out news
paper, stretched over 
truth
so thin you could see
through
yourself 
crossing
to the other side
where I wanted to be

seen
adored
desired
respected
cherished
valued

loved?

Two years
miles and miles
it ran
unanswered
other than
occasional 
conveniences
and
the 
felling
timber
Tinder
too
retardant
to catch
earnest
flame

So today 
I took it down
filed it
under
unrequited

I mourn
while the longing
clings
to all my edges
my soft
places
saturated
with 
want
