Fly in a café

  • Curious fly
  • with your
  • thousand
  • eyes,
  • what is it
  • that you see
  • in me?   Today
  • I am     your flower
  • and you are        my bee
  • because   it seems
  • you can’t get
  • enough   of me.
  • Have I forgotten
  • to wash
  • this     and that
  • patch     of skin?
  • Or were     you meant
  • to   light
  • the night within?
  • I want     to crush you
  • with my hand.
  • I want       to map you
  • with my       words
  • and hopeless plans.
  • You are Plato’s     Ideal
  • that which cannot
  • be   touched.
  • Perhaps       then
  • between you
  • and     me
  • this
  • is enough.
