As An Older Man Poem by L.B. Temuco

As An Older Man



For every word I misunderstand
I carry a weight
as if knowledge has a meaningless mass
nurtured by the blood of bones

As an older man
I love more
I am a thief in reverse
and everything moves me more

I can disappear whenever I like
I want to disappear with her
until she makes my bones burn
to a sublime ash

She said they were not lovers
just friends
but she does not know how to lie
just how to love
