Grce

was the link a tease?
an empty tickle to my libido
an itch left to gnaw

or am i simply a tchatchki for your menagerie
another trophy from the sea of want you create
an aching swollen need that occupies an occasional afterthought
in the business of teasing - so many dangling particples

i would rather crawl up the ladder of your words
as occasional as they might be
and reach the twinkle that made you even look
and try as desperately as my feeble reach can muster
to touch it as a reminder of the echoes
of frustrated moans that fail to reach your ears
kept in the cold cellar of unattended memories

even if silence is the answer i am grateful for whatever its motivation
