What You Will, Under Will
(A Fantasy Invoking The As Yet Unmet)
by a female Faust
“Give sanity a longer leash, but some of us have sharper teeth…”
“Love’s Secret Domain”
Coil
Let your heart beat even in your memory,
Let it all of them — me — you — remind
Kinesthetic extrasensory
Lightening future manifest your impossible dreams all the while
Then — of a sudden make all too real: me whispering, too close to you, just behind
A hot breath moist against your nape
No earshot to darken the echoing mile
Overpowered de facto complicit rape
If real binding, banish, but play at pleasure & find
What you will, under Will, in the depth of a smile
I am already there in your mind, let me in:
Of the oft counterfactual I you yet remind
Becoming, once seen, the all -ways -ready seeming
Should I but inherit the prize — more than kin — I bequeath:
An be mine, it will never have been less than kind
This moment’s confusion well I know
As much with the civilized as delicate, best to roundly look — beneath:
Proof. Of all that quote endquote -ing claims to show
We’re the ones with longer leashes now, you see?
It’s sanity that has the sharper teeth
Beware! Be thou yet subtle, strong, & fearless; you may find
Sometime love plays at only seeming blind.
