Literature Text

I can at last
feel the separation of youth and now
I fear the aging dismissal of
that beautiful emotional excess,
to which I slather, gratuitously,
on moments like these.

And I scratched a pen on your arm:

"What tumultuous life,
to leave me tumbling"

in this turbulence of time

I crave life in rich helpings.
Here I am resisting the drudge, the sludge
and it's hard when I move so
quickly
All this to leave me asking how I can
all grow, and experience,
and preserve myself the space to do so.
