and "love poem to no one in particular"

by Mark O’Brien

Let me touch you with my words

For my hands lie limp as empty gloves

Let my words stroke your hair

Slide down your back

And tickle your belly

For my hands, light and free flying as bricks

Ignore my wishes

And stubbornly refuse to carry out my quietest desires

Let my words enter your mind

Bearing torches

Admit them willingly into your being

So they may caress you gently

Within
