Forget Yourself

Forget yourself and your eyelashes
And your leather soles.

Forget yourself and your shared blood
And your donated laughter.

Forget yourself and your lips
And your lust.

Forget yourself and your unrequited waters
And your beauty.

Forget yourself and your fluttering notes
And your pulse.

Entwine the remaining folicles of man or woman and pause.
To pause would equal perfection.
But equal is unnatainable
And pause strengthens memory.
