To these incoming affections, capricious
outcoming sentiments, for an escort to date;
Would I die for anything close to true love—
honestly, I’d pray I’m not too late.

Last night was the outcoming,
Of my greatest fear.
I spent an hour alone thinking about it.
I spent an hour filtering past all the things I am afraid of, just to find the greatest one.

It's the mirror that I look in every day

a black stallion trades

runs with a zebra.

neck to neck outcoming

growth.

along verisimilitudes

of seas that whet an

Ocean's appetite under

their hooves.
