What does it
mean, to want,
to wont?
To crave something,
and to make it real,
to grow
accustomed
to its being
yours.
Collapse it
into being,
take desire
in the palm
of your hand
and shape it to fit
your pocket,
your purse,
your lips, pursed.
Even desire, so
personal, wholly
yours,
existed here
first,
glaringly clear,
a being in the world before
your being,
leering.
Keep it in your pocket,
pure and hidden.
Or suppose instead
you took it out,
bared it,
let it blare.
