DESIRE
Desire to us was like a double death, Swift dying
Of our mingled breath,
Evaporation of an unknown strange perfume
between us quickly in a naked room.

Oh! Good choice 🙂
Yeah, he is funny too. Writes mostly about the everyday struggles of young person trying to make it, especially a black man in a still very racially discriminated America.
Have a good week.
