dead love poem falling

all of me now given to this

moment of mirrored green
sighs O we now so so dark

can't hold you forever sometime will have to let you
your heat think of flight
of somehow light your weight your heft
you have heft you are real
though light we see clear through
your membranes into

the complex the conceit

that man so wild in trees
what did he mean by it
how fine we stared we started

to think that water so abominable stretched like that

I fall here fail fall
your abdomen like
no not tonight, don't leave now
with owls yapping no

want you all you all like the river the air
carries us up
where we fix

the weight of you the weight

a whole other human
loving now so hard
.

I love this poem, but in particularly I cannot stop reading the above. It's got me.
