Longing
Yearning as weather, not warranty.
Longing in New Orleans does not ask permission — it sits in the chest like brass after midnight, insistent, unpaid.
Lovesick is not a diagnosis. It is appetite with no delivery date.
Hope may flicker. That is not the same as arrival.
The heart races on credit. The body keeps the bill.
The brass stops. The chest does not.
