Are You The Right Person?

Please tell me if you really are the right  
Person to open those barred and locked doors?
You know - the doors inside - doors to delight
To flood my darkest spaces without pause
For fucking thought; since temporising will
Always be rejected, hasten the scent
Of burning, as I warm to every thrill,  
You insist that I share? And be intent
On my not knowing anything exists;
I'll sample liquid sunshine in your fire
As you ignite us (though my soul resists:  
Each cold recess impregnable); desire,
Mere sentimental sky that I can skim
With curling, clenching fists, as you expel
Each fucking, lonely thought and, then, begin
To show me you are right (I'll know the smell).
