It's hot
and it's humid.
But it's the perfect temperature,
and the best climate.
The bugs are all over me,
a distraction.
A thousand tender caresses
from The Mother.
I am wearing too much clothing.
But I am completely naked,
open,
and exposed
to the air
and the light.
On opposite ends of the wood,
I am too close to you.
But I want so badly
to be inside of you.
There is no sound here.
And it is defeaning.
I am completely sober.
And out of my ******* skull.
I feel like ****
and have never felt better.
Here,
with you,
I am all alone.
My books
all define the Infinite,
while void
of any meaning.
I Want so fiercely,
like a ******* hole in my chest.
And I am content.
I miss you all,
now that you are here with me.
The wind swirls around us,
and nothing moves.
My belly,
my heart,
and my head
are all empty,
so I nourish the insects
with my skin,
and my sweat,
and my breath.
And when the storm
finally breaks,
and the rain
finally comes,
I will
finally
be dry.
