...and all this time I thought your back was turned to face me;
I always painted it, or watched it, waiting for it to disappear
into colorless space.  A void of nothingness.
Naked as lover.

But the point was, maybe I was wrong, and your arms were
always around me. You just seemed gone, (my eyes were blindfolded by thin strips of skin and eyelash.)

We speak too much. We don't speak.

The forest snows are laced with cocaine; the deer have been breathing
and bleeding softly from tender beige nostrils.  The world seems sweet
and white.  Children laugh and go sledding.  Come home for cocoa, dusted in frost.
The tiger's paws are soaked.  He does not understand.  Jaguars and Panthers curl.  Lost.   They Starve.  Purr.  Retract their claws and die without sound in
an anonymous wood.
Stomach empty and buzzing like a hive.  Throat empty
and slamming shut.  World empty. still echoing with laughter.
new ways of life.
