We are all seeking to connect – ultimately.
[in the burying of head on a partner’s chest
in the inflicting of pain
on self
on others
in the ways we live
or try to
or fail to
in the locking of eyes
brave, brown eyes
breaking only to return
in the shout of one’s own name
over and over
again and again]
Whether that’s a good thing,
or simply a thing,
or just a thing,
chissà?
Words ring shallow it can be true
and these here may indeed be meant to mock you.
Chissà
