I need you too we both

need words I we both

ornamental flourish 

capping flush joins

rectilinear blustering 

/

Can’t we just 

these cutting contour

If only speech

half truth half

numb numbers fill

/

Cast off casts

Ivory plaster so delicate

soft for eyes

warm worn whites walls

estate rendition 

/

brochures tinctures sleep 

pungent beds game

Gamed granted yearn

avoid that fleshy blame

the cast off clothes need bodies
