I asked to be absolved

of all worldly and familial

duties

so to be set free

giving every breath to love

exclusively

nothing seems of more

urgency

than this prayer

I seek desperately

aware of time

I lament inside

every day lost

I am closer to

dust

Formless I become

with every breath

until my spirit

leaves

I am here

yet not here

this duality

to live away

from what I desire most

is killing me
