life amidst phantoms/when emails become prose poems



i wish i could tell you to come to me and you would
right then. not later or after
i wish i could learn how to be vulnerable again after
a life time of hurt and disasters
i wish i could say keep me safe and never let me
...have a question
i wish i could say love me and never stop
rehabilitate me to a glory former
not of now, not of this place, but of some place ideal and tender
but i wonder
if you know how
or am i bartering my heart again to the village butcher...
these are the thoughts that keep me stuck
between wanting to call your name and wanting to stay sane
