no talent for empathy





I have always been so exacting,

at least as I can recall.


But you withdraw from me
a weak imprecision
that clouds my eyes
too thickly.


I am a child caught within
the webbing
of westward emotions
that cling softly to my hair,

escaping a wind that has loved them
without a gentle touch.


I could enjoy this much more simply
if it all weren't cloaked
in unsaid feelings,

if I were
blind



instead of

dead.

    hmmm... a ungentle wind... an unsettling statement. Seems sometimes we can do with a reduced sensory overload.

    I believe I've said it before and I still stand by it: your work is fantastic.
    I'm so glad that you're starting to post more often, I've missed reading your stuff.
