"Losing focus in ordinary rituals is common under such intense desire"
- from a horoscope -
A vessel wants filling, doesn't it?
She needs his eyes to own her,
here, this close, she will follow,
drop her belongings, not look back,
agree to be wife two or three or four
to please him, fold him up as a god,
wait for his favor, drown.
as she slowly brushes her hair,
his influence falls away, brush,
brush, the safety, brush, the heat,
brush, brush, brush, brush, until
she is empty once again.
