sublimation

yes, 
the same. 
let's go all freud 
stems from desertion 
as a child. the recreation 
of the being who hurt us 
most: and our transfiguration 
of that loss: we want but we don't 

we don't cuz once had: what else is there? 

we can clean, i am doing that now. what i 
have unearthed was this freudian slip of who 
i never knew. thus each look, each raised chin 
my eyes search. the same - not there, never will 
be there even if the eyes are the color of the sky 
or the deep of the ocean or the ebbing of sand as the sun sets 

not there. 

thus we best continue reaching out. and never 
returning to the source. the source will give us 
escape, a shallow, insignificant moment of: Yes, right, well, i have to get back to it... 

and at least you are alive.
