Imprecision

In my dreams / I am a tornado of birds / that turns when you run to me / looking for escape in sky / that is full of you / I feel trapped / jagged, knapsacked / unsure of all my edges / what is a curve and what is a woman / and which can you hold / maybe I am more jazz than rock / more teeth than mouth / bigger than body / biting and changing / maybe only part of me responds when you ask / if I want this / maybe it is my language / imprecise diction / calling it fear / when it is isolated discomfort / an overwhelming loneliness / an eating away of the senses / a pendulum in perpetual motion / worried suspension lasts forever
