THRESHOLD
(25/10/2022)


back

In fine threads of my DNA, coiling
In trembling, splitting cells
Carnage in slow-motion
I become it

You have been the one and all
The essence of my thought and breath
The most attentive and persistent lover I've known
Whose affections I have yet to embrace.
You burn my confessions into oblivion,
Impartial, for it is all you know.
We both value loyalty and dedication
Though my feelings are no more profound to you than others'.

Your wordless poetry bleeds me,
Your silence is deafening, maddening,
You take my hand so forcefully, so passionately
That I often have no time to react.

I fulfill my one duty, my one obligation,
To wake once more to meet you.
I cannot trust anyone but you,
Someday I will leave you asking questions.

I have to pass the threshold
To prove I am you.
You will pass the threshold
You will become me.
