tantalizing

for you are my tantalus-
ever in your pool, ever reaching
for i surround your body
and become liquid

within

i saw [look at me] your eye, perhaps your eye
is the pool of your dwelling
but an introverted stare
at your life, always [look at me] looking

outward

at the limbo, of your [touch me] body
your skin plagued by cold and desire
if you could [touch me] be touched, to feel
fingers tracing up your back

touch

only to forget, what is seared on your
skin, the burn of fingers from only seconds
only to look down, and see
your body, in your coffin of water
