Stagger
 
I look to your eyes
& see my dreams
your lips clench
 
I stagger –
the syringe
savagely
exposes
my veins…
 
Passion cruelly
binds memories
willfully deducting
intellect
from desire.
 
I stagger –
the syringe
hangs
from my left arm
in triumph…
 
Your eyes
respond to questions
your mouth
never answered.
 
I stagger –
the syringe
falls
to the floor
empty…
 
I stagger –
I stagger –
I stagger –
