maybe he’s
equally as eclipsed by distance
as I’m even
eagerly possessed
say a sound
is diminished
maybe a beat quickens
towards the rest
an elision slips
easily at the end
wearing a sleeveless
mini as the heart
is already undressed.
maybe we seem
too pleasing or
too blessed
to pass anymore tests
so we freely
marry our ribs
in our chests & we’re
really too ready
but possession comes last
in Russian, a vowel
stays longer in the west
