It begins with something backward; desire
affecting self-esteem, indulgence tempering
rational thought. Do you remember
the way he looked at you through the dark?
You will feel as though you are shrinking, deliciously,
flying back in time, your body thinning,
milkteeth chattering back in.
You didn’t always used to be so cold. Did you
know he has always been cold? Taller men
are more likely to have Raynauds, fingers
whitening outdoors and at night.
Some areas of the body will feel numb,
you should know. Your perfume will
keep you awake, and you will be able
to keep moving forward.
Your memory will be foggy and it will allow you
to kiss him. You should avoid going further, for everybody’s
sake. Do you even really know him?
An individual in crisis is still just an individual.
If you do want him, then certainly he will not want you.
Such is the way of nature,
penalizing what’s forbidden with the ebbs and flows of lust and love.
Do you remember? Beware the skipping in your chest.
You know in all likelihood you will hold him there too long.
