Indifference (edit)

---INDIFFERENCE---

As if a brief farewell wish
Scrawled brusquely
Smeared thus
Scarlett's bruise

Serious fists
Detachment

Dismissing the flight
Remiss of depth and height
Fragrant words
Which the flesh fancies and the heart favors
Emotions as thinly scratched
Wrote to emote

Arguments
Damaged ego

The vacancy which hunger wreaks
Physically seeks
It is an un-abiding howl
In lieu of pangs a foul
Searching to fulfill a thirst
In some substance
From all that hurts
Abundant in every moment
Denial a sudden shame

We are neglect and prey
So truth remains

So much hunger,
Heavy with crave
To place or be still
With or without
This hastened space

Or void to crave to feed
Opposite of desperation
No longer

A prisoner of need...

We sit across from one
Another
Indifferent
As time between
Colorless bleeds...

Our silence becomes
A book we master to read.
