Manifestation qua manifestation

is what to strive for;

It’s been a while she has not responded;

And like a loyal dog—

An obscene loyal dog,

I am waiting for her bones and flesh,

and rosy countenance,

And her locks to unravel the gordian knot

of my heart.

What can infatuation do?

Without caress, care, affection and expression.

Beauty is naught while shrouded;

Beauty requires radicality,

And radical is beautiful.

Dissolution requires a surface;

Unlike an icy pool for a diver.
