I think,
what you should keep in mind
is the thrusting
pulsation, my
veiny
body parts
do.

My heart and
others'
stop
to feel
the coursing
flow.

You don't.

But you should.

Wait for breath;
catch it and,

yes,
use it
to pull out
every ounce
of air
that seeps
from lungs
and touches
on your hollow throat.

Let it vibrate
through your empty
self, into
the
sounds,
which form
my name.

"Wo es war,
da soll ICH
werden."
--
The self is manifest in the signifier.
