Metaphor Dysfunction

communication, hope, irony, life, liminal, love, metaphor, obsessions, poetry, writing

As if
ambiguous
allusions
could suffice
to convey
the all
within
my heart,
I mutter
aslant
my intents;
simultaneously
afraid,
you will
and won’t
understand
my skewed
lines
running
parallel
to you.
