Building to the Beginning

Building to the Beginning  

I was seduced  
into thinking that  
if I were a stunt cock  
you would think  
I was worth running to  
in midday  
as you reached  
escape velocity  
from your real life.  
 
I was jealous  
of your desire  
to deny the density  
of your feelings.  
 
In reality,  
what you needed  
was someone  
to not reject you  
as you lay in state  
on your death bed,  
the real you,  
human,  
faulted,  
self-destructive,  
and lost  
except for  
the connection  
with someone  
who knew you  
as you are.  
 
You chased fantasies  
of men  
who would  
abandon you.  
 
Imperfect.  
Human.  
Real.  
Hiding would not do.  
 
You had to  
fully immerse us  
in your inner world  
of your being  
a rebellious girl,  
seduced  
by a naughtiness  
that ignored  
and shamed me  
in secret,
as you  
had been shamed.
 
I became  
your interface.
 
Without my sharing  
that feeling,  
there could be  
no us.  
 
I had to learn  
to grieve  
my own  
expectations.  
 
Each time  
you stripped away  
my next  
incomplete analysis  
and loaded  
another layer  
of irony  
and instability.  
 
You believed  
my love  
as being  
the last plane
of integration,  
bare  
and yet  
barely even connected.  
 
Only  
in the final seconds  
of existence  
your ultimate layer  
of being  
breathes its last breath,  
the end of rejection.  
 
To expire  
is to expire  
all defenses
at last.  
 
This is  
that expression  
that is  
its first  
and last  
transcendent  
darkness.  
 
I could only  
truly love you  
enough  
to be there  
at the end  
if I had experienced  
the end  
of all  
your ritual addictions.  
 
You didn't need  
a stunt cock.  
 
You needed  
a stunt heart.  
 
A long,  
hard love  
that penetrated  
your flesh  
with the thrusting  
strength  
of interdimensional  
love,  
this is what  
you needed.  
 
Beyond rejection  
and insensitivity.  
 
You needed hypersensitivity  
to your own self-denial.  
 
They only  
fucked you.  
 
I made love  
to your heart.  
 
I earned  
the respect  
you needed  
to allow yourself  
to become  
actually naked,  
in the world  
between shame  
and death.
