What did I want from you? you were my longing.. collaborative mutual epistemic discovery. I stilI want you most when you are least able to contain yourself; blushes, smiles, tears, laughter, throes. agony - your closing eyes before a passionate kiss and overcome,when you are most present, yourself, and completely reachable - the only time we can ever meet. incarnated by my hand to your cheek, the longing was you, in itself. let me go. rise again on the surface of your perfect body. embodiment of thought, desire. involuntary and compromised. identical with your flesh.saturated with your presence. your self spread across your face.. a body - you speak through it with it, knowable through it to me. at home once in our bodies but knewt we were once elsewhere, and would there return.
