Hm. Nes - Her Scent

I feared her scent
That it was more than I could bear
In this present condition
In this tenuous state of mind

Not in this life-
This shallow, hollow existence-
Not today of all days

Still she came into the room
Uninvited
Uninvited
Largely unwanted
And at the same time wanted
More than reason will allow.

The words fell limply from my quavering lips,
“Go.
“Go away.
“No, don’t go. Stay. Stay.”
She stayed.
And my fear turned to calm
And then to dread

She may never go.
What will I feed her?

Hm. Nes
