Love Poem: En Passant

En Passant

between the space of “aim” and “fire” 
is the place I least desire

life, in here, is infinitely small 
in this space, we are nothing at all

and if I am fire and you are aim
then the space between is our disdain

rook and pawn their blood devour 
the space between, a burning tower

hate and love, infinity
the space between, a stagnant sea

a policeman knocks with lowered gaze 
the silent space, infernal blaze

life and death, eternal story
beset by haunting purgatory

 
breath inspire, breath released
a breath withheld, is a breath deceased

space infliction
rogue design
let’s rearrange 
this paradigm
compression rate
initiate 
death and life
amalgamate
