Talking to Myself
If I write you a thousand words
Will you see the picture?
Of me alone and wanting you.
If I write ten thousand words
Will you receive the comic strip?
A scene, a day in the life, lacking the warm touch of your breath.
Or maybe this
Won’t work that way
Maybe I’m just
Talking to myself
First tendrils of madness
Soaking in like butter
On warm bread.
It tickles.
