.yen and yang.
I want a man
who chooses to
hold conversation
using only the power
of his eyes
& I want to call it
mine
I want a man
who picks wildflowers
to stick them
within the ribbon on
my long-brimmed
black hat
& I want him as my
habitat
I want a man
who creeps up to
kiss my neck as I wash
dishes, singing of
magic
& I want to bathe in
the static
but
I want a man
who doesn't stare into
my fierce gaze to tell
me he doesn't want
to leave
this ******* bar,
but he does anyway
& I want to break his
casual sway
I want a man
who doesn't twist my
heart to turn my
head around
when I know **** well
he's already gone
& I want jukebox bitter
songs
I want a man
who doesn't remind me
that hope is a
dangerous thing to
have
& I want what I can
never
I came long enough
to see the
truth
I left soon enough
to know it isn't
you.
