Am I waiting now? 

119 pages,
thinking of August,
and thinking of Augustine,
The pleasant sensation that is return
to landing w/o Land
Like September
Once everything got clear and I
Suddenly were things
          
                      Come toward me

Still I miss you. I miss you, your reality your royalty your mind I miss the clear exacting materiality of your body with mine, its entirety I miss seeing you, I miss your hips axes and doors to the temple of my night I miss your scent, your scent I can’t bring to mind but know I’d recognize instantly I miss tasting
you and knowing you’re healthy and well from your tanginess I miss your hair, your thousand pairs of ram horns bouncing softly above me I miss you closed-eyed open-mouthed I miss you slowly I miss you gasping, I miss seeing you rest next to me, I miss you cuddled in the tail of my eye I miss staring out of my mind at dawn and see your dark shape become pearl, radiate softly at the first light I miss waking each other up I miss sharing a day with you I miss dancing with you holding on to your hips I miss you kissing my eyes close in the club I miss making the beat ours I miss your feline gaze turning me over and over in the darkness of our chase I miss the impossibility of you feeling me   to think we have done that to think that happened    I miss the miracle

What exactly is restraint?
How is it different from containment?

If our skin wouldn’t contain our guts we would simply, unceremoniously come off
