Intensify

You have gifted me

A deeper depth of darkness

You have made our distance

Ever more distant


As though the void itself

Was insufficient

You have drawn up

The drawbridge


Yet my reflex response

Will be a deeper depth of feeling

Yes, my instinctive reaction

Will be to overcome the difference


Indeed, as though

To enter that void

With my core drill, and sickle

To harvest the new despair
