I live sturdy Pompeii. I lust long at the market.
From a distance. Behind buildings. Beneath blanket, skin, and sinew. I squint (and lust long at market).
I live within dead room to live sturdy Pompeii. With never response. With never linger. Where each word, each breath and part-me plummets leaden to the floor, a silent tenfold-gravity that amputates my toes.
Where all those scattered part-me — word, breath, and every — squint (and lust long). And I, shuffling toeless between them, am unafraid, uncrowded. A quiet empty, far from market.
The man for whom Vesuvius was a godsend.
