[adjective]: having a great need or desire for something
On the worst nights
I hide in my release-meadow -
under the tallest wildflower
to sing;
somehow
you always follow me there,
raining
while the sun shines
at all the most wonderful times
over such a bright, ignorant mind
as if the drops were your stubble
and the sun was my skin;
(surely you know by now?)
by the grass where I cut my need out
and handed it over:
I haven't wanted anything but you
since you opened me up and read me;
I have not dreamt of any completeness
besides the one in your tone
and in your hands
when they get the access they want, and
I have not begged sincerely
under anyone's eyes but yours.
You -
you and all the things you think
and all your little artful scars -
will one day
kiss my head to this song -
to this song,
and those beautifully coarse hands
will pull this Pink Floyd shirt over my head
with both tenderness and desperate abandon and
at that minute
every single thing in my brain
will crumble at the way you enter:
every paper in the glossary of thoughts I know to be reasonable
will be upturned and disorganized,
along with the index of desires I have known
by a somatic yearning so massive
it is defined only by the moments it ducks
out of sight:
bright, your rain will write my mind
and, blinded, leave it undefined.
Anything less than you is murder.
