Steady hands, honest gazer
I crave to etch words in your marble
Love to make my mark
where it shall remain
and if it
peaks
dips
circles
You’ll touch the infinite cast edges
And when I turn away
And when I shut it out
And when I wretch –
to what?
I don’t know
The conviction
despite feeble veneer
is carved nonetheless
And when what I say is love
crazily makes its loop
again and again
it’s still a loop
gaining strength on many returns
and when you wonder
run fingers over the stone
know this unbounded love
tries not to be
hesitant
unplugged
booming
raging
But sometimes I forget
and sometimes I forget
Then: marble
