The shrieks and crows that i long for
Always seem to escape me
But your berries are ever-bearing
The sweat and sugar of wild honey
On my dusty feet
Exposed all of my longings
I plucked you off and cast the pest
Into the flooded water receding
And though i slept alone
Those paying for their time
Will take note of all but the very most discrete
Watching and waiting
For an eye
Glimmers and tightens into focus
I CAN BREATHE I CAN TASTE
It wasn't the same without you there
I'm being watched in this house
