"For Brian"
9.5.03

I want to know you.
I can't help but think that
There's something in you, something
Golden and it shines, golden.
I can see it in your eyes.

Like most vile and vain creatures,
I want it.
I don't understand
How
I can be so taken
With only some sort of secret that
I don't even know is mutual.
But I've become more daring.
And I'm
Sick
Of my stomach churning
Whenever I think
Of you.

I want,
I truly desire,
To know you.
