there's no need
don’t be so verbose
to me
so fast in what
you say
your lips’re
paletting out
words
painting my house’s
walls--
the bare, white
stark walls—
making it a mess
you better stop, miss
because you’re
something i can’t
have
don’t be so verbose
to me—
come on
it’s as simple
as this:
we are what we are
do what we do
and if we are for each other, then
let’s skip the pleasantries, let’s skip
what needn’t be said
let’s do what we can’t do
when we’re dead
do it simply
this intellect eats me alive
it squirms around me
those
cockroaches, moths, bees in their hives
they eat me
alive
do it
simply
simply, i know i cannot have you
simply, i know i cannot speak to you
so simply, i will imagine you in my dreams
as that beautiful, pretty thing
as something of a queen
because i know
there’s no need to be wordy
there’s no need to tangle the wires
make it all complex,
a large, skyscraping
layered flesh
there’s no
need
i will just
wait
patiently
as i have
all the time
