Spending time with those thoughts...
You know the ones.
The ones that only tend to surface when you have too much free time on your hands.
Those thoughts that make you physically ache, and there’s no one to talk to about it, because there’s no one who understands.
I find these thoughts causing irrationality and vulnerability.
I see them as a catalyst for unnecessary pain, keeping me grounded, limiting my mobility... literally killing me.
Sometimes they take a small break, and I can keep them at bay, but they’ll be back - ready to attack with just as much force.
I can only hope that eventually those thoughts will fade away, never to return again.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.
