triad + 1

when you talk to me with swedish seriousness
and your eyes are discoloured
and empty with crying
i feel a contraction
and expansion
and a desire to touch myself and you

and when your lips parted
pause for english words
i think of your other lips
and that red house in sweden
where i came too soon

i absolve myself of guilt
by telling myself
that love
compassion
empathy
and lust
are an indivisible
eternal triad
(plus one)
abstract image
