Reaching Away

"Get lost!"

Takes meaning from a speaker's mouth.

Insult, imperative, or inner desire,
all depending.

I want you, I want to, you want me to.

Three days left,
laying in the last bed,
a life's success can be measured
by the length of the gap
between silences.

Yet even then
this paradoxical urge,
a source of misery,
remains.
