Mind-lover

Dear mind-lover,
Never the life-partner:

What is it that you seek?

We could talk about anything out there
Forever, if only the clock
Left us alone.

But clocks have a better eyesight than I.

Was I the dirt
To scrape off your heart? A pacemaker
To crush?

A juice of life
That would have killed you?

One more crumb, and I would have crumbled.
