a collector of sorrows and pillows
the forlornness of things
captures him and touches him
so he must take them home
unable to abandon them
as he was thoroughly abandoned
so he prepares like a Pharaoh
all that’s needed for the journey
but when did the pyramid
become a tomb for the initiates’
prayer of perfection:
you can be a perfect stranger
you can be a perfect idiot
but you can’t be a perfect lover
it’s the one thing where
there’s always something more
you could keep
