WALK

WALK WITH ME

Walk with me�walk around the world.

Walk with me�memory to memory;

the shared sex, the mutual music �

the drumbeat of your heart against my hand.

Walk with me�.walk around the world

Hand in hand through the nightmare

of my narrative, the neat sentences;

the story of why we met. I cannot tell.

Walk with me, on the afternoon we first slept together.

I am not afraid of feeling, but I am afraid of feeling;

unthinkably. I don�t want to drown. My head

is my heart�s life-jacket. I�m drowning. I cannot breathe.

And all I want to do is walk...
