Corded Unto My Core

oh MY it hurts! 


oh man-oh MAN


ma hart took a halt!

now my whole body heaves, 


an internal thorn

one constant yearn


i cannot sleep that's how much it speaks 

calling attention to itself during hours who flirt with morn,

in striking fluctuations of calmness and yearn


an unnamed weight, a hidden force

corded unto my core it pulls me to you


hush!

maybe it's push,


for whether inhale or exhale i know not

except that gravity exists

in one of us.


in the bane of my bones,

or the core of your throat.
