i long for teleological thoughts
something immaculate and absolute
but desire remains a firm and silent fruit
a lemon with its eyes closed
anxieties
the anxiety of being mired in one’s moment
the anxiety of overspilling one’s margins
the anxiety of truth as an asymptotic function
the anxiety of never being able to go back
i have yet to feel the flower
nature blooms for elixir color
like a plump plush winnie the pooh in a cloud forest
desire does not seek its object
desire seeks only to replicate itself
desire is both mechanism and form of proliferation
like love dogs howling their way back to their own poiesis
and you too a lowly worm,
my favorite kind of worm
