ceaseless crying.

soak the pillow...onto the bed.



tears absorbed, oil absorbed, sweat absorbed,

cigarette burns, *****, weight, arrogance,

seclusion, hesitation, longing,

itch.



one oozed with love, with purity.

snug, tender, sensible, giving.



two oozed with destruction, with vulgarity.

deep, hidden, masked, distanced, deceptive.



one gushed desperation.



he wasn't absorbed.
