I

.

They wanted it so badly

That they were willing to fabricate its image - 

Love - willing to force themselves through the motions

In some longing attempt

.

To somehow recreate its resemblance:

.

                II

.

To assemble the parts - the ingredients -

Requisite to the thing they wanted most …

But absent the spark

That rendered a natural occurrence

.

Against the specter - that separated

The real, serendipitous miracle

From the deliberate, artful premeditation 

That became the artificial reflection of its ghost.

.

.

And so he worried - worried

That they were mutually assembling

The pieces

Of a carcass, a cadaver,

.

A corpse …

.

All upon the basis, the pretense,

That if the portions were lain together

And if lightning were to strike,

Somehow, through some act

.

Of providence, the thing

Would be given life.
