Plug (for Ayomi)


I have met
a young man
who despite youth
despises the transactional
nature of things
nowadays including love
how has this
need for immediacy
replaced the need
for someone’s forever
he recently asked
replying I said
most I think
have no wish
to build foundations
but rather fill
the crumbling mortar
with anything usable
be it body
or even waste
to fend off
the surging bloodlust
of today’s desire
