What does it mean?
Curves, fertility, dripping
Caught, eyes, upward, half-smile
Words of nothing
disappear behind a rushed clatter

What does it mean?
Wishing for everything
when nothing’s possible

What does it mean?
To grow older in desire
without reaching the heart

What does it mean?
To need love
but to be only
brambles
lima beans
tattered bum rags
old straw on a pig’s sweaty butt
nothing that sticks
nothing that lands
nothing that holds
only a dandelion frond
floating on its cotton sail
it’s seed-tipped needle twisting this way and that
in an indifferent and unaware breeze
