why
when I look at you
do I feel the whole
crushing sense
of my mortality
feel the whole sinking weight
of who I am
dissolved into the way
your jeans fit
into my illusion
the tight discourse
of the delta
the dialogue
that has left my tongue
speechless
for the taste of you
speechless

"Clarence said a striking thing about rowing that I've always valued ... that he liked rowing because you were approaching life backward. You could clearly see the past, and you glanced quickly at the future over your shoulder.' Jim Harrison.

Re: speechless
I like this, it spoke to me of the subjugation of the self in longing for another. Very good.
you never have to tell me what it is you really think of me, I'll just say I'mdoing fine, but do I have to dance all night. -Leonard Cohen
