All the attempts at level-headedness and
thinking straight _______
fell through that night
as if the floor gave way.
You broke my mind.
I’m putting it back together
but your continued presence mixes up my thoughts
into aphrodisiacal pulp.
I try to explain something that I’m not able to understand
and the mush first thickens then
overwhelms
consumes.
Blood boils in this body that I’m willing to disown while –
maddened and confused –
I wait for you to leave
and for me to return.
