want

the seismic wiring of fingers
pressing flower petals, scent
smudged along ridges,
a dendrochronology; drought,
shade, years smoothed with rain
and every time I touched you the scars
were consumed eventually. it isn't enough
to know, my faith only works in flesh.
the cover's blown, let the fire burn
round the circumference past the point
of healing, past the point of desire
