Gravitas
Syntax of pull, strained muscle guiding me down the lines of your ribs, your outcrop hips.
You could well be the host of a much kinder geology.
Admit it, only a stoic would think of apples.
I promise to let it all fall for gravity's steady suck.
Newton said this, of course, is what math is for, to grasp how the bed wants us to lie in its pool of potential.
What we have learned thus far; Eros is geometric
extended field theory.
We are preserved with salt, vinegar and a sense of loss.
If you know a shorter way home
take it.
Loveliness is a dark matter,
and only birds have hollow bones.
The more you weigh
the more
it will love you
Go ahead, just try and
drop me.
