The open hands of the singular lover
signify the absent body
and try to maneuver it (x2)
YOU a stand-in for every YOU spoken by the lover
Their gaze stays turned away from you
This particular YOU is irreplaceable
Nothing is to be learned from this love to apply it to another one
This love defies any professionalisation
We will not thank each other for the experience
It will not have mattered if our feet were dirty or clean
This has been no ordinary love
This has been an extraordinarily productive love
We managed to turn its experience into matter
We almost captured the whole thing
1. pushing/pulling
2. hanging/leaning
3. celebrating/holding on
Nothing smooth about
the inner workings of the power couple
Where the will to power is paramount
love will be lacking
and I feel the power
but you don’t
We’ve been too strong for to long
Tired of signifying
Freelance Lover closes their hands
to fists
to provide to themselves the needed resistance
