nudity
is war
undress me
and I will forget
that my life
extends
beyond
the embodiment
of the second thought
he never gave us
I am not
an
(adequate) antidote
to loneliness
but I am someone who
improvises
clemency
to every form
he ever dared abandon
someone
learning
to become.
(and here I dreamt,
I was but driftwood
in tears
of joy
a moon in amber
a wound
a war
a boy)
