Intemperate

That heart rush at a chance encounter
The pounding when it's a choice
Time tempers nothing

                    ...except, maybe hope

Peeling it back to bare bones
    leaves expectation on the floor

Making room for a new baseline

                    ...given enough time


***


No matter how hard it's choked
    no matter how badly it's beaten
          it only sleeps long enough to heal



***


The pull that breaks boundaries
    and smudges lines
          just enough to cross without noticing

Unbidden, yet summoned just the same
There is no singularity...no one emotion
It is every possible feeling 

                    ...bound in black
                    absorbing the totality of human intangibles


****


No matter how hard it's choked
    no matter how badly it's beaten
          it only sleeps long enough to heal
