i miss my wife(s)

Dreamt of a cliché still haunting  The socket of my left eye. Dreamt of an eye Floating mystic on a foreign tongue. I am here - right now - waiting. And the waiting  Spills across the floor In rivers of fluorescent yellow and blue. I am hungry for previous love. All of them Who kissed so carnivorous With violent beauty. Where are you now? Dearest teeth glowing in sodium haze. Want I still carry  in the pit of my swollen stomach. Thinking I see you - daily Among the ghosts of thinning crowds. Seeing you in each insane face turning away... Thinking - I am such an old man. Floating mystic on a foreign tongue Dreaming through my left eye. This courage nailed to unattachment - Self-crucified by my own delicious freedom.
