intensity
outside of the paleness are
manic hues at the far end of
the tunnel if you've been
there you know through
the crawl space you find them
colors bold as scorpions
stinging down a summer spine
there are lovers
on the other side of
bread-stale souls
through the
crawl space
you find them with
penciled in mouths
immortalizing
false starts and caught up
in unfinished endings
the intensity is what
we miss.
