Believe

Yes, I can be there

enclosed in my dark skin

wanting everything

my eyes can reach

not always available

to the length of my arms.

It’s a kind of greed,

but a man is naturally carnivorous

with his big teeth in a wide mouth

able to enclose

a hunger for words

as well as a slice of steak

while those places

I would like

to go to

all by myself

keep their lights on

under a dark sky.

Place

This was not there

and only some other place

differently spelled

and therefore not remembered

as ever having been

what I supposed
