If we were to declare a duel
to settle a difference in affection
a leap out of clear communication
to a gap in clarity
I challenge you to understand me
see the holiness in my intent
feel the purpose in my hand
taste yourself on my tongue
Must I vault out of my skin
execute an emotional broad jump
twist mid-air and turn sharply
to land behind your camera
Imprisoned behind your eyes
would I ponder a familiar stranger
mirroring desire but reflecting you
and discover you don't know me
