angst cycle (iii)
[X] (i)
i’m failing badly at the cut
i find myself sending innocuous emails
information about irrelevances that aren’t
interesting stuff that might be
worse she’s replied
formally
and actually
this isn’t working
the emotion is still too strong
i fear i might have to
resort to ovid
his advice
so i must decide
whether to offer
the absence of ovid
i’m hugely confident
if we communicate
beyond the formal coldness
there’ll be intensity
in conflict
in anything without
vision and smell
it’ll be battle
with vision and smell
it’ll be war
or glorious peace
but i’m confident
she’ll not accept
communication
beyond the formal coldness
see
ovid is starting himself
without me saying engage
