drop hints
in unspectacular fashion.
get aroused without prompting
feel a churning immediacy
like hot magma just before
it bursts through the surface.
sit on a pillow
and will surrender,
acceptance of all that has been given
by the invisible giver.
suddenly cry,
not for anything specific
no one friend who died
no calamity in Eastern Africa.
take a photograph
of something that vaguely resembles
what is going on
inside.
reach out
to a complete stranger.
give a compliment.
wish them
what’s loitering
between
heart and belly.
