essay

on the individual love exploding into everything
a sort of blindness and continually blinding process
until your eyes change and see only love
into everything that hate becomes heated
into everything that pain dissolves
into all that there is to hold around you
shaking in your hands that feeling
digging into the barrier of your skin
there is no defense
he is everyman and more than every man
from the body to where you cannot touch
the soul has escaped
and we wait

the night, the day,
the details we've already begun
to question.
