except that i don't
exactly
when i read your losing-meaning-words
i want to give you something
from my body
that requires nothing
verbal
and everything
eternal
and mindful
like a kiss
or a smile
or a hand
or a gentle line of breath across your hairy chest
that means to say nothing but
here
i am
you are
here
we
are here
alive
alive
alive
alive
nothing's died
love didn't die
love doesn't die
why do i fear that you fear love has died?
or worse, that you don't need it?
it's just my own thing
my own imagining
how sad i'd feel
if somehow i believed
there was something between me
and love
and others
something between me
and the infinitude of pleasure
it's just my own thing
this desire
to stimulate
