such moments by MJ Taylor
i'm sure there's at
least an hour of serenity
for me around your inner thigh,
but just how many pieces
of that peace of mind would
i be robbing you of
after?
after's the thing, you know.
& will always be the thought.
................(i thought, but didn't say)
what is it that softens
the bone/loosens
the grip
need commandeers the sight
& judgment?
a moment of vulnerability
can make all the difference:
when that small film covers
the eyes & blinded from your
default reactions
............feelings.
life in those seconds
becomes a mini-quest
that you have no choice
embarking on.
such dark magic
& bliss.
blessings, these moments.
of thoughtlessness.
perhaps better off without
any questioning.

poetry and counting his fingers. Just in case.
