		untitled (***I desire more)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		I desire more
		than the yellowed poplar does
		on the silver road
		full of july's dust
		I desire you
		on my naked body
		on my turned to ashes brow
		flow down as rain

		worried the trees whispered
		day the day
		they laughed quietly
		night

		as night into my parted hands
		as the warm night
		as the wet dew
		come
