What is life?
Liquid as love flowing through/following loss
driving by/diving in lust
divides pieces of the lost
leans toward edges, ready to leap
desires/dreads the leap
backward into the apparition of a life
lived, pursing against the lost days
of emphatic lore, of love
hums nymphet lust looming loss
a prepubescent loss
looking for a loose edge, holding the leap
toward pints and milliliters of lust
toward a perception of life
a compass spinning, N, W, E, S, landing on Love
always landing on L for love or lost
a little lo and lost
drowning beneath waves of loss
or madness in love
as want preaching/predicting an unavoidable leap
beginning and ending one life
disgusted in/disguised as lust
little de-lo(res) lust
cunning and lost
in the mauling hands of life
mourning un(imagined) loss
daring to leap
toward the maw of a trap, the anti(love)
What is love?
residing in terrors of lust
willing little dolls to leap
humming of innocence preserved and lost
gasping and grasping (a)voiding loss maintaining life
love is lost is lust is loss
is a leap through life
