‘We always crave the thing we cannot have Nor get, no matter what it is.' Oh well, Then, just give up before you start! Possession Isn't all it's cracked up to be? And is it really true to say the object Of desire attracts the puny subject? Rather, it's the want & absence, lack Within ourselves, & timid standing back. Empty hunger drives us, weak obsession. Making Heaven's angels' gifts a hell Of charming, charmless charms, an open grave To step & fall in, full of anima's animus, Held against the lovely incubus-succubus, It's lustful visitations that come nightly...
