Let this poem
be free of you.
Let this poem,
and its been long,
be of moons and ink
and songs.

Let me write
how I cannot write
when you slither
in my head.
You curl and wind
in my mind
like a line of poetry
that lingers and clings
and I try to forget.

How can this poem
be free of you?
How can I follow myself
in the dark
when you glow like that
and hold me back
to you?
