"This melancholy London - I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air. - W. B. Yeats

Pacing

pacing the floor
in my pumps

pulsing the light
in my veins

shaking me down
I am fistfuls of wild hair

and tomorrow
i will still be a pair of eyes
and a pair of tits
and a pair of feet
that take me across city streets
and subway stairs

surging the heat
in my thighs

with hands outstretched
and lips half-parted.
